Krumbigal Hall in Lalbagh to be renovated

The over 100-year-old Krumbigal Hall in Lalbagh will be taken up for renovation by the State Archeology department.

On Saturday, Minister for Kannada and Culture Umashree, instructed the department to take over the renovation works, following media reports on the sorry condition of the building. The building comes under the purview of the Horticulture department, which has completely neglected it.  The Horticulture department has been asked to hand over the building to the Archeology department.

The building was built by British officer Krumbigal during his stay in Bengaluru.
