I think the city can do more to celebrate the monuments and promote the culture and history of such places.

Very scenic place and has a lot of greenery around. Nearby cubbon park and UB city is just right next to it. Good place to take photos and there is adequate bus connectivity avaliable here too.

The watchtower has become one of the symbols of Bangalore and Kempe Gowda, as the founder of Bangalore, has received his due recognition as most of the public services & public property including the bus station, main road leading to the bus station, the recently inaugurated international airport and a recently opened museum have all been named after Kempe Gowda, which is not only a welcome change, but also a paradigm shift from the hitherto convention of naming them after certain political party’s dynasty who were no way related to the city. In the next part, we shall find out more about how Bangalore evolved after Kempe Gowda.

It is placed in between junction of Corporation bus stops. Surrounded by roads to KRMarket, Majestic, Cubbon Park, and Subbiah Circle. It is not maintained. Around the piller few plantation is also done. It is just standing tall in all weather.
