All journeys must pause before they continue. In this season finale Ramjee Chandran brings together the threads of history that led to the founding of Bengaluru. We step into the grandeur of Krishna Deva Raya’s court, witness the empire’s twilight as the Deccan Sultanates close in, and watch as vassals like the Wadiyars and Kempe Gowda rise to stake their claims in history. Bangalore’s story is one of ambition, power, and reinvention—and as we close this chapter, we leave you with the echoes of history, a city waiting to be built, and the promise that there’s more to come.
