Last week I showed you some murals from ‘The Capital of Silicon Valley’ — San Jose, CA. This week I take you to ‘India’s tech capital’ or ‘The Silicon Valley of India’ — Bangalore or Bengaluru — to show you some HAL murals.
Bangalore
Bangalore or Bengaluru is the capital of the Karnataka, a state in Southern India. It’s known for its tech industry, its gardens, its infamous traffic and all. However, Bangalore has also been known for its early industries like ITI, BHEL and HAL.
If you would like to learn more about this city in South India, visit History of Bangalore.
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) is a company that is into the making of defence aircraft and aircraft parts. HAL has called Bangalore home since 1940. I’m sure that explains the defence planes and helicoptors in the murals.
I chanced upon on Old Madras Road in the city, last year.

I didn't realize that there is a home grown aeronautics industry in Bangalore. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
HAL mainly caters to the defence sector. HAL was one of the big public sector companies that the city has always been proud of and it's been there long before Bangalore became the IT city that it is today.
Thank you so much for hosting this wonderful meme. 🙂
Have a great week.
Nice pics. Thanks for the post 🙂
Thank YOU. 🙂
I had no idea about the aeronautics industry in India. Lovely murals.
HAL's products and services are mainly for the defence sector.
🙂
Oh Wonderful…! I passed from this road a few months back and clicked some blurry images from moving cab…Your pictures are so much better … 🙂
Murals of a different kind, right? A lot to be proud of. I wish I had taken more pictures of HAL's crafts.
Thank you, Prasad. 🙂
I didn't know that industries in this kind of business made murals.
The area belongs to HAL; so I guess they just used their walls to showcase the company's products.
There are a few art works that have sprung up across the city. Nice find, Divya.
I wish I'd taken more pictures of these planes and choppers.
I'm sure; I hope they are well looked after. Nomad, you should take pictures of them while they are still not worn out.
Have a great week.
mercy flights?
Mercy flights??
I like the bright colors!
🙂
These are the first murals I can say I have seen. 🙂 And your lovely clicks reminded me of my Bangalore days.
Beautiful murals!
Wow! These pictures on the walls looks incredible. I am sure that walls decorated with cool art look more beautiful than with peeling paint. Thanks for this incredible post. I am hoping the same helpful works from you in future. Don't waste your time on doing boring paperwork – assist it to professionals at http://www.custom-paper-writing.org and feel no responsibilities.
