Hidden in Plain Sight

Mumbai gets all the press about its Art Deco heritage – but did you know that it is all around us, across India, in every old neighbourhood in every city, including Bangalore?

Art Deco is a hundred-year-old architecture style that came to India in the thirties and died out in the sixties, but was so influential that most buildings from that era sport some features from this quirky style. 

On this walk, we explore the little-known Art Deco heritage of Malleswaram. Wander through treelined streets in a historic neighbourhood. Learn about this beautiful, irreverent style from an expert. Visit those who inhabit these homes and hear their amazing stories. 

Discover the nuances of the Art Deco style. You will never see the city with the same eyes again!
