During the late 17th and 18th century,the British colonial rule gained prominence in Bangalore. They established a cantonment area in Bangalore which became their military base for the then province. As the British consolidated their rule in Bangalore,their domestic needs also grew with time and to satisfy their requirements, they built the’Bungalow’ type of houses which was an amalgamation of the Indian and European style of architecture.
The word ’Bungalow’ was derived from the Bengali word ‘Bangla’ or ‘Bangala’ which was a 17th century Bengali form of a hut. The initial bungalows were similar to the kutcha local ones but became more convoluted in design with time.
