Visitor reviews
“Came for the flyover and stayed for the commitment to the bit. Nothing quite prepares you for seeing it in person.”
“Stopped by on the way to the airport with twenty minutes to spare. It explains a lot about the Bengaluru budget, quietly.”
“Asked a local for directions and got a knowing laugh instead. Recommended to anyone collecting evidence of ambitious paperwork.”
