My first visit was to
Cubbon Park
One of the most important places to see in Bengaluru, Richard Sankey laid down its foundation in 1864 and it was named in honour of Lieutenant Mark Cubbon, a British army officer of the East India Company and a British commissioner of Mysore. A statue of Queen Victoria adorns the park. Right in the centre of Cubbon Park is the Memorial of Seshadri Iyer, the dewan of Mysore, housing the Public
Library. The park is home to almost 6,000 species of plants, including trees.
