Palace lawns, galleries, big fairs

Things to do in Palace Grounds & Vasanth Nagar

60 events in palace grounds & vasanth nagar across Bengaluru — mostly dance (12), music (12), expo (10), business (6). 13 are free.

Palace Grounds is the open estate around Bangalore Palace, the Wadiyar family's Tudor-style residence, and one of the city's main addresses for large exhibitions, weddings, consumer fairs and the annual cake show. Events use named plots such as Tripuravasini, each with its own gate on Ballari Road or Jayamahal Road, so check which gate your ticket names. Vasanth Nagar next door has the Alliance Française and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Bhavan, while Kumara Krupa Road and Palace Road add Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath, the Nehru Planetarium and the National Gallery of Modern Art. There is no metro station nearby, so take a cab or bus.
