AWAAN undertook a complete renovation of Town Hall’s existing auditorium, its audio, video, stage lighting, stage curtains, etc.
What did the client want to achieve?
Client sought a complete upgrade of AV and lighting systems, along with an ease-of-use solution. Despite using complex and sophisticated audio, video, and lighting equipment, we ensured the systems were configured to be simple yet not oversimplified, allowing any amateur to plug and play.
Scope of work your company was involved in
Audio, video, intelligent lighting, stage lighting and stage curtains.
What Key Challenges were faced?
Since this was an existing, functional auditorium, it was challenging to reinstall new AV systems without damaging the existing structure of the auditorium, considering its structural antiquity and uniqueness.
How were those challenges resolved?
Armed with the required skill sets and two decades of rich AV experience, along with the technical expertise of our project team, we were able to overcome the hurdles of working on the landmark structure!

What are you most proud of about the project?
The fact that we were trusted to work on one of oldest and iconic municipal buildings of Central Bengaluru, the foundation of which was laid by none other than Maharaja Krishnaraj Wodeyar on 6th March 1933, in itself in a matter of great pride and honor for all of us at AWAAN and remains of the most prestigious projects we’ve worked on in Namma Bengaluru
The building was commissioned and inaugurated by Yuvaraja Kanteerava Narasimharaja Wadiyar in 1935. It was designed in a neoclassical style reminiscent of ancient Greece. It has a broad portico with tall Tuscan columns and a triangular pediment. It was built on land donated by Sir K. P. Puttanna Chetty, former president of Bangalore City Municipality. It serves as a key venue for public gatherings, cultural events and official functions.
Over the decades, the Town Hall has remained an essential landmark in Bengaluru’s social and political life, symbolising the city’s modern heritage and democratic ideals.
