Chowdiah Memorial Hall is North Bangalore’s cultural hub and it’s known for its distinctive violin-shaped architecture that’s a homage to violin maestro Tirumakudalu Chowdiah. In fact, if you could get a top view {there are a couple of high rises nearby}, you will see that the entire hall is shaped like a seven-stringed violin, complete with strings, keys, the bridge, and the bow. It’s the venue for diverse programming including Carnatic and Hindustani concerts, jazz, ballet, traditional and contemporary dance performances, and plays.
