The Bengaluru pete walk
Kempegowda was the founder of modern
Bangalore. Which Kempegowda – first, second or third? How did he look like? If
he was Yelahanka Nada Prabhu, why did he create Bengaluru? How was Bengaluru
back then? What were the city limits? What kind of people lived there? If it
was a trading town, who traded with them? How can a city in the 15th century
sustain without agriculture?
We learnt more about this medieval fort city built by Kempegowda, one of the
vassals of the Vijayanagara Kingdom. Learn more about him and the city of his
times that passed through several hands before the British made it their home.
The walk ended with a
sumptuous breakfast!
