I wandered into this sylvan property just as the sun was setting and captured this serene treasure of Bangalore in the fading light. Most certainly worth a visit.” Sri Aurobindo Bhavan is a well-preserved, colonial styled building built in 1932 by the Royal family of Nepal for the sister of the King. It was gifted to Sri Aurobindo Trust in 1979. It is located on the south side of Ulsoor lake at 110, Gangadhar Chetty Road.

The cantonment necessitated recreational activities, so golf courses and racecourses were developed, which further extended the green belt that divided the cantonment and the Petta area. Churches were erected in different parts, which marked the early cantonment limits. The British reshaped Bangalore into an urban settlement, connected by air, rail, telegraph and telephone lines.

  • Bengaluru's Beautiful Heritage Buildings Have Escaped The
    SuccessBY SHOBA NARAYAN PHOTOS NAMAS BHOJANI storeys Bengaluru’s beautiful heritage buildings have escaped the wrecking ball thanks to some passionate preservationists TRAVEL ishad Minocher calls himself a hospitality consultant, but he is really an epicurean who enjoys single malts, fine wine, good food and heritage buildings. He happens to live in one: a 175-year-old gem situated in the centre of Bengaluru on Cunningham RRoad. Called Hatworks Boulevard, the half-hectare property has been converted into a series of high-end boutiques and retail outlets. Minocher and his wife, Anna, live at the back with their two daughters. “My grandfather rented it from the original owner, a British man, and then bought it after World War II,” says Minocher. “After my parents passed, we five siblings were left with a choice: should we give it to real-estate developers who would tear it down and construct a high-rise in its place or figure out another way? We chose the other way.” Minocher and his wife travelled all over Asia and saw Chi- nese shop-houses being used as retail outlets in Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. They decided to do the same with their home with an iron-clad contract for all prospective ten- ants. No major structural changes were allowed and several architectural features could not be touched: the heritage flooring, mud-brick walls, lime plaster, curlicues above the entrance arch reflecting the family’s Parsi heritage, and the Burma-teak false ceiling all had to be handled with care by the tenants. Even fixtures such as air-conditioning units had to be inserted tastefully and not “be stuck here and there so that they are an eyesore”, says Minocher.
