K. R. Market
ಕೃಷ್ಣರಾಜೇಂದ್ರ ಮಾರುಕಟ್ಟೆ
Bengaluru's largest wholesale market, where the dawn flower market bursts with colour and is a must for photographers.
Built in 1928, the market handles wholesale flowers, vegetables and spices on its basement and ground floors. The flower market is busiest from 4 am to 8 am, with piles of marigolds and jasmine traded, making it a great place to experience the rhythm of Indian city life. You can take a bird's-eye photo of the whole market from the flyover beside it. The area is crowded and the ground can be slippery, so wear non-slip shoes, keep an eye on your belongings, and greet vendors before photographing them. It is about a 5-minute walk from Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace.
Opening hours
Approx. 04:00–22:00 (flower market best early morning)
