Museums of Bangalore: Indian Musical Experience
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/xuSdTK4XeoI Overview: I thought Bangalore just had 2-3 museums which are well known until a few years ago, but a little research opened up my thoughts as I discovered several museums within the city. I have decided to visit all the museums in the city and document those. The first one on the list is the Indian Musical Experience in JP Nagar 7th phase. This beautiful museum is dedicated to the evolution and science behind different forms of music from traditional to contemporary. As we enter the museum, in the inner courtyard, we can see a sound garden, where we can learn about the sounds created from natural things like wood, stones, and metals. We can try our hand in generating music as well. This area is well enjoyed by both adults and children.

Exquisite carvings. Loved each and every pic, such detailed works... Ours is a land of such immense beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe first time I heard of Somnathpur, was in 1990, when in school the place was chosen for our annual study tour. A visit to this place was captivating.having left my home zone on work, there has been this itch to return to Somnathpur someday. A chance glance at this blog has only made this resolve stronger.The write about the place was vivid and beautifully augmented by pictures.Will remember your post when I flag the place on my itinerary. :)

Arun,
ReplyDeleteThird photo floored me. Never knew Somanathpur temple has one of these slabs (known as 'Shikhara Phalaka' in Kannada) which are placed in front of the shikhara after the sala statue. In front of which of the 3 shikharas it is located? This is rarely seen in the surviving Hoysala Temples. In some temples the slab is there but the carvings have vanished. Hullekere temple has a beautiful one. Thanks for the photos.

Breathless & unmatched beauty. Superb sculptures, exquisite ornamentation & amazing architecture. The standing stone figures of Krishna & Vishnu are awesome. Glorious reign of Hoysalas. Thank you for sharing.
