A few months back, in October 2016, District in-Charge Minister Dr. H.C. Mahadevappa inaugurated one of the iconic fountains at the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad Circle, popularly known as ‘Highway Circle’, with great fanfare. The fountain, embellished with a beautiful centrepiece of sculpture, with four elephant heads looking in four different directions with their trunks raised, has since become popular as the ‘Elephant Circle.’
It was built at a cost of Rs. 25 lakh as a gift to this city by the Brigade Group, the well-known developers and builders, who also own the nearby 5-star Hotel Grand Mercure.
