Kempe Gowda

Kempe Gowda - The architect of Bangalore in Lal Bagh. He lived in the 15th century. He installed four towers in Bangalore , which was supposed to be the boundary of the city. One of which is in Lal Bagh. But the city has grown so humongously beyond these towers, that there is a joke saying that if Kempe Gowda was to be reborn again, he would suffer a heart attack. Co-incidentally my grandfather too shares the same name Kempe Gowda.
