Nature, Culture, and Wildlife in the outskirts of Bangalore
This painting pays tribute to Bannerghatta National Park, a verdant
sanctuary located just outside Bangalore, Karnataka. While many
Bangaloreans associate Bannerghatta with its renowned zoological
park and exhilarating safari tours—especially famous for its collection
of majestic white tigers—this piece invites viewers to explore the
park’s rich tapestry of biodiversity, history, and cultural heritage.
Founded in 1970 and designated as a national park in 1974,
Bannerghatta is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including elephants
and the beautifully intricate Baya Weaver bird, known for its
remarkable nests that adorn the trees. However, the park faces
challenges from nearby granite quarries, with tremors from their
operations affecting the lives of the animals that call this sanctuary
home.
Interwoven within the landscape are historic temples, such as Sri
Lakshmi Narasimhaswaami Gudi and Suvarnamukhi Anjaneya Temple.
These sacred sites are not just cultural landmarks; they are integral to
the community’s spiritual life. The annual ritual of emptying the
Pushkarini (pond) to reveal the engraved image of Anjaneya at the
rock bottom connects tradition with the natural world, highlighting the
reverence for both nature and heritage.
Through vibrant colors and intricate details, this painting captures the
essence of Bannerghatta—its stunning landscapes, the allure of its
safari, the intricate nests of the Baya Weaver, and the serenity of its
temples, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty and significance of
this unique destination.
