The Institute's map as a PDFThat is the Institute's own map, unaltered underneath. The pandal, the gates and the walks are drawn over it by the committee, and every distance is measured off the traced path using the map's own scale bar, which is why they are not round numbers.
The Institute's own map is the one to carry. It names every building and marks all the gates, and the Tata Memorial Club is at F3 126 on the IISc campus map. A copy is hosted here so it works without signal, and the original is on iisc.ac.in.

The same seven gates again, written out, for anyone who would rather read than click. Each link opens walking directions to the pandal. Security at any gate will also point you towards the bank.

Ask for the Tata Institute. Nobody driving in this city calls it anything else, and every auto driver in Malleswaram and Yeshwantpur knows the gate.
- Yeshwantpur railway station
- Under two kilometres away, the closest rail option. A prepaid auto from the platform 6 exit is the simplest arrival.
- Bengaluru City railway station
- About seven kilometres. Prepaid taxis run from platform one.
- Kempegowda International Airport
- Roughly thirty-five kilometres. Prepaid and city taxis both serve it, and the BMTC shuttle runs every fifteen minutes.
- By bus
- Stops at Prof. C. N. R. Rao Circle, the yellow overbridge and Yeshwantpur tollgate all put you within a short walk of a gate.
- Landmark
- Just past Mekhri Circle, on the way to Yeshwantpur.
Distances and fares as published by IISc. Treat the fares as indicative.
On the day
- Anjali and bhog timings are on the five-days page.
- Bring a water bottle. The queue on Ashtami is long and the afternoon is warm.
- Everything is at ground level and the ground is flat, so the pandal is reachable with a wheelchair or a pram.
- Lost, late, or stuck at a gate? Ring a convenor below.

সকলের জন্য খোলা
The Puja is open to everyone and always has been. If you are at NCBS, JNCASR, ICTS, RRI or anywhere else in Bengaluru, or you are a Bengali association wanting to bring a group, this reaches a convenor directly.
Things worth telling us in advance
- Bringing a group. Bhog is cooked to a count. A rough number a week ahead means nobody is turned away on Ashtami.
- Performing. The cultural evenings fill up by late September. Tell us what you do and how long it runs.
- Driving in. Vehicle passes for the campus take a day or two to arrange, and cannot be arranged at the gate.
- A stall. Books, food, handloom, anything a Puja ground should have. There is space and there is no charge for a non-commercial one.
- Accessibility. Tell us what you need and we will arrange it rather than improvise it.

There is a great deal of history on these pages and some of it will be wrong. If you know better, we would rather hear it than keep it. The same goes for anything broken, anything missing, and any photograph that should not be here.
