The Vidhana Soudha, in Bangalore, India, is the center of legislature for the state of Karnataka.

Also known by the name Karnataka Assembly House, it is a magnificently beautiful structure.

The regal pillars and stately domes of granite and porphyry are designed in what is referred to as the neo-Dravidian style.

Mounted high above the door to the assembly house, just under the national flag of India, is the Karnataka seal.

Crowning the central dome of the structure is a statue of the four-headed lion, the national emblem of India.

The Karantaka Assembly House was completed in 1956, and is the largest and most grandiose legislative building in all of India.
