The first thing that you notice about this hall is the unique shape of the building's exterior. Chowdiah Memorial Hall (CMH) is shaped in the form of a violin, as it was built after the renowned violinist Mr. T. Chowdiah. The surrounding areas are spic and span with well-pruned gardens and mowed lawns. With plush interiors and modern installations in the sound system, the hall accommodates a little more than one thousand people in the audience. Famous not only for its architecture but also, for the diverse cultural events that it hosts, this stage has seen numerous musical concerts, recitals, plays, spiritual sessions and classical performances. The venue is often rented for weddings, local events, and other celebrations. Situated behind it, is the serene Sankey Tank, which is a lot more than just a water reservoir.
The TV Tower in Bengaluru stands tall in the busy area of Jayamahal.

Tower is the Doordarshan Kendra, which is a national public television broadcaster. Being a towering man-made structure, building the tower was quite a demanding feat. The entire surroundings are well-guarded under the strict surveillance of security on the premises. However, it is worth it to have a look from outside.
