Malleswaram Street Art Trail - Walls that speak about the Locality

Image
Malleswaram is one of the oldest areas of Bangalore and is a better planned locality with mains and roads cutting the area in a grid format. I have known Malleswaram from a long time since I did my schooling from one of the famous schools of Malleswaram. But recently when I was part of this Mural trail walk, I was amazed seeing how these small conservancy lanes of Malleswaram has been lit up now with colorful and creative murals. During Pandemic, around 12 artists from Geechugalu(means scribbles in Kannada) team planned a mural trail along some of the prominent lanes of Malleswaram with each art depicting something about the area. This campaign was called “Malleswaram Hogona”(Lets go to Malleswaram 😊). Malleswaram Mural trail walk was organized by a team called BengaluruPrayana and since I am a mural lover I registered for this event. Total walk duration is 1.5 hours covering around 1.7 kms. Mural #1 – Greetings from Malleswaram We all met at Malleswaram 18 th Cross Bus stand
