Welcome back to ILF Radio! Today we take you to the very heart of the garden city of Bengaluru, through its greenest haven in the midst of this bustling silicon capital - Cubbon Park.
We are joined by the delightful Dr. Meera Iyer as she takes us through a leisurely stroll through this 300 acre lung space. She is the convener of the Bengaluru Chapter of the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) and has authored two books: “Discovering Bengaluru- History. Neighborhood. Walks.” and "A Gardener and a Gentleman: Rao Bahadur HC Javaraya".
Through the famous “Parichay “walks of INTACH Bangalore, she has been sharing her passion for the history, culture and heritage of Bengaluru with the general public.
Cubbon Park, officially known as Sri Chamarajendra Park, speaks of a rather unique history, reflected not only through its many colonial edifices, but also amidst a treasure trove of priceless botanical assets which makes it one of the most recognisable and beloved symbols of this city that every Bangalorean calls home.
