Often described as one of the most recognizable landmarks in the Bangalore skyline the Kanteerava Indoor Stadium is no run-of-the-mill stadium in India's Silicon Valley. Constructed back in 1995 by the Department of Youth Services and Sports of Karnataka the venue was commissioned to be built in order to serve as the city's premier sporting arena and a crucial component in grooming the future athletes of Bangalore. Constructed according to the iconic architectural design put forth by Sundaram Consultants, the large domed complex has come to symbolize the city of its birth for sports lovers across the nation. The construction process of the Kanteerava Infdoor Stadium is also famously connected with the diversion of the course of Lake Sampangi which flowed through the area prior to the building of the arena. Surrounded by towering trees and lush tropical foliage the stadium is ideally situated in a tranquil corner of Bangalore City. Boasting an impressive audience capacity of 4000 seats the venue managed and run by Department of Youth Services and Sports of Karnataka also houses an indoor pitch with 120m x 90m dimensions. Often used to host local and national level sporting events the stadium has also become somewhat of a tourist attraction in the Garden City. Visitors can enter the stadium via any of the locale's five public entrances while the three remaining entrances are reserved for players/athletes, officials of the arena and VIPs. The structure consists of a silver elliptical shaped dome that is made up of hundred and twenty 40mm wide precast creased plates that are held up by a number of interrelated rib cables. The elliptical ring which forms the lower layer of the dome and encircles the arena is in turn supported by 24 pillars. The seating areas of the Kanteerava Indoor Stadium are precast while other special booths such as the VIP cubicles are also on-site. Travellers in search of 5 star hotels in Bangalore should look no further than The Leela Palace Bangalore. Ideally situated in a strategic location this elegant rest is regarded among the best Bangalore luxury hotels in the state of Karnataka and offers a truly memorable stay in this much loved city in India.
