The Dharmambudhi Tank (presently Majestic Bus Stand) has been at the heart of Bangalore for over a hundred years. Perhaps its centrality has been at the root of its constant metamorphosis – in this last century it has gone from being a tank outside of Kempe Gowda’s fort, to a congress rally/exhibition ground, to the city’s central bus station. At a time when it is about to take on its newest avatar – that of a metro station – we interview four people who have had deep personal association with the area. A priest of a temple once situated at its banks, a celebrated theatre actor who performed on the tank bed, an erstwhile highschooler of a Gandhi Nagar school and the wife of an engineer who helped construct the bus depot, recollect their personal histories of the area.
