Event Description

Pettah walk in Nagarathpet : Tales of Sufis, Silk and Shakti.

On this fourth walk of ours in Kempe Gowda's "Pettah" area we take the guests on a darshan of one of the most popular temples in Bangalore which is also associated with the popular Karaga festival.

Join us as we take a walk along the narrow meandering lanes of the Pettah to know about its history as well as discover monuments hidden behind modern buildings.

As we take you through the lanes we stop at the factory where the famous Mysore rockets were made & how they influenced the US national anthem. We also stop at a place connected to India's freedom struggle. After that, we pay a quick visit to the silk weavers in the neighborhood.

If we still have time we might also pay our respects at the tombs of a few Sufi warriors who were martyred during the III Anglo-Mysore war in 1791.

Last but not least we have breakfast at a legendary food spot.

Meet at Dharmaraya Swamy Temple.
