Old House
Though not old enough to get a heritage tag, this house in Pulla Reddy Avenue, Shenoy Nagar stands out amidst the overall development of multi-storey concrete structures.

Nandis on the wall
Nandi, the sacred bull is the vaahan of Lord Shiva.Normally, we will find the Nandi in front the sanctum sactorum. The nandis of Lepakshi (click here for a post) and Thanjavur are huge.
Nandi images are also common on the walls of any Shiva temple. These are from the walls.
