Bengaluru(Bangalore) : A city with Diversity – Episode 1

Bengaluru, called as the Garden City or i must as was called as the Garden city which is now a hub of the IT sector. After getting the label of Silicon city,everything here looks so costly,pricy.

High rise buildings,traffic jams everywhere which have resulted in the chopping of trees,widening of roads.

With construction work all around us, we are inhaling our Bengaluru’s mannu (Bengaluru ki mitti).

1 .A Photography freak??…

2.Want to click some pics and searching for some good location in and around Bangalore?

Location 1 : Hesaraghatta,Nritya Grama.

What can i expect from here :Birds,Landscapes and some architecture,Location for some Portrait Photography.

Distance from Bangalore Railway Station : approx 25 kms.

Travel Time : 1hour approx

Take a right from 8th Mile signal on NH4.

The ride from the Chikkabanavara junction is fun with curvy roads and trees on either ends.

Now for people who want to take a ride far away from the pollution,traffic,honking noises to experience a serene,calm and a green atmosphere or to experience how Bangalore used to be a few years back.

Hesaraghatta, a town around 20-25 kms from the Bangalore City Railway station which used to be a huge reservoir and the main source of water supply to surrounding areas  has now become a grassland where the cattles graze and children play.

Photographers interested in bird photography can surely find some species of birds here.

Birds spotted :

Kingfisher,Drongo,Sunbirds,Hawk,Eagle,Parakeets,Parrots etc

For others a calm place to spend some time together and have fun.

Few kms away is a place called Nritya Grama which is just besides the Taj group of hotels.

Nritya Grama, a residential dance school surrounded by trees spread over an area of around 10 acres.

Another good place to photograph few birds.

And the hostel blocks constructed with a village type of architecture with an amphi theatre at the rear end of the Nrityagrama

Apart from birds, you can shoot some architectural or portrait photographs with few abandoned buildings around too.

Need some more photographs??

Head back towards Hesaraghatta road ,you will find a road leading towards left just  before the  Adarsh Film institute…

Keep continuing on that road and after a few mins..you will be welcomed with grasslands.

Few of the Kannada films have been shot here.

A good place for some Landscape or Portraiture photography.
