Vidhana Soudha - Capitol Building of Karnataka


This building is massive. It is over 5M square feet. Built in 1954, it houses the Secretariat, State Legislature and several other government offices.




Although some shots appear more blue (I shot these through the car window) it is a gleaming white building reminiscent of the palaces of Mysore. These first four pictures are of one structure.



On Sundays and holidays, the entire structure is lit up at night.



A few years ago, a new addition was built keeping the same architectural style.
