A '''résumé''', commonly written "'''resume,'''" is a document that contains a summary or listing of relevant job [[experience]] and [[education]]. It is closely related to a similar document, a '''curriculum vitae''' ('''CV''')<ref>The term ''curriculum vitae'' means "course of life" in Latin. While it is appropriate to write either ''curriculum vitae'' or just ''vita'', it is incorrect to use the phrase ''curriculum vita'', the form ''vitae'' being the genitive of ''vita''. The plural of ''curriculum vitae'' is ''curricula vitae''.</ref>, which focuses more on education, publications, and other accomplishments. Both are typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an [[interview]], when seeking [[employment]]. The résumé or CV is typically the first item that a potential [[employer]] encounters regarding the job seeker. |
|||
'''Cubbon Park''' (ಕಬ್ಬನ್ ಪಾರ್ಕ್) is a landmark ‘lung’ area of the [[Bangalore]] city, located within the heart of city in the Central Administrative Area. Originally created in 1884, when Major General Richard Sankey was the then British Chief Engineer of [[Mysore state]], it covered an area of 100 acres and subsequent expansion has taken place and the area reported now is about 300 acres. It has a rich recorded history of abundant flora and fauna plantations coupled with numerous impressive and aesthetically located buildings and statues of famous personages, in its precincts.<ref>http://www.bgci.org/educationcongress/proceedings/Authors/Nareshwar%20Meena%20-%20AS.pdf Urban green spaces: Lungs of the city and centres of biodiversity education |

==Terminology== |
|||
</ref><ref>http://www.bangalore-karnataka.com/travelinformation/cubbonpark.htm Cubbon Park</ref> |
|||
''Curriculum vitae'' is Latin meaning "course of life" and ''résumé'' is [[French language|French]] meaning "summary". |
|||
This public park was first named as “Meade’s Park” after Sir John Meade, the acting Commissioner of Mysore in 1884 and subsequently renamed as Cubbon Park after the longest serving commissioner of the time, Sir Mark Cubbon. To commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar’s rule in Mysore State, in the year 1927, the park was again renamed as "Sri. Chamarajendra Park", in memory of the 19th Century ruler of the state Sri Chamarajendra Wodeyar (1868 - 94) during whose rule the park came into existence.<ref name = "kar_nata">http://www.horticulture.kar.nic.in/ Gardens Cubbon Park</ref> |
|||
In the business world, the word ''résumé'' (also spelled ''resumé'' and ''resume'') is used especially in the [[United States]] and in [[English Canada]]. ''Curriculum vitae'' and "CV" are used in the United Kingdom in all contexts, with ''résumé'' having very little currency. |
|||
The landscaping in the park creatively integrates natural rock out crops with thicket of trees, massive bamboos, with grassy expanse and flowerbeds and the monuments within its limits, regulated by the Horticulture Department of the [[Government of Karnataka]]. The predominantly green area of the park has many motorable roads, and the well laid out walking paths running through the park are frequented by early morning walkers and the naturalists who study plants in the tranquil natural environment.<ref name = "kar_nata"/> |
|||
Tourists visiting this Park in the city of Bangalore have nicknamed the city itself as 'Garden City'.<ref>http://www.bangaloreindia.org.uk/tourist-attractions/cubbon-park.html Cubbon Park</ref> |
|||
In [[North America]], [[Australia]], and [[India]] the terms "résumé" and "CV" may be used interchangeably. However, a ''résumé'' more often has a free-form organizational style and is used for seeking employment in the [[private sector]], whereas a ''curriculum vitae'' (also called a ''vita'', but not ''curriculum vita'', see below) usually has a more standardized look and format for the purpose of seeking positions in [[academia|academic]] or educational institutions. Another difference is that a ''résumé'' tends to be more descriptive and tailored for a specific purpose or target audience, whereas a ''curriculum vitae'' tends to be organized in a way that presents data about one's self in a compact fashion, with a clear chronology. For example, a ''résumé'' may begin with a statement about a personal goal, followed by a list of most significant accomplishments or characteristics in order of significance, while a ''curriculum vitae'' often includes complete and unembellished lists of data such as educational institutions attended, degrees received, positions held, professional affiliations, publications authored, etc. A ''résumé'' may or may not be represented by the person as a complete history of themselves without omission, whereas a ''curriculum vitae'' usually implies that there are no omissions, and in particular, no temporal gaps. |
|||
The importance of the Park to the city's environment is best stated by two Urban Architects who have won the national competition to design 'Freedom Park':{{quote|It is difficult to tell someone who is visiting Bangalore today what they can see here other than Lal Bagh and Cubbon Park.<ref>http://www.tehelka.com/story_main40.asp?filename=hub090808theinvisiblescaffolding.asp The Invisible Scaffolding by |

|||
A résumé is a summary typically limited to one or two pages of size [[ISO 216|A4]] or [[Paper size#North American paper sizes|Letter-size]] highlighting only those experiences and credentials that the author considers most relevant to the desired position. Simple résumés may be organized in different ways: |
|||
==Access== |
|||
The Park is accessible from M.G. Road, Kasturba road, Hudson Circle and [[Ambedkar]] Veedhi (Road). The motorable roads which run through the park are allowed for light motor vehicles only. All locations of the park are accessible through walking paths. |
|||
The Park is open to the public at all times but the roads are closed for traffic from 5 A.M to 8 A.M every day.<ref>http://www.discoverbangalore.com/cubbon.htm The Cubbon Park</ref> |
|||
==Botanical assets== |
|||
====Chronological résumé==== |
|||
Indigenous and exotic botanical species found in the park are about 68 genera and 96 species with a total of around 6000 plants/trees. Indigenous species found in the park are:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://horticulture.kar.nic.in/cubbon.htm|title=The Cubbon Park|accessdate=2008-10-12}}</ref> |
|||
A chronological résumé enumerates a candidate's job experiences in reverse chronological order. |
|||
[[artocarpus]], [[cassia fistula]], [[ficus]], [[polyalthia]]s etc., and exotic species such as [[araucaria]], [[bamboo]], [[castanospermum australe]], [[grevillea robusta]], [[millettia]], [[peltophorum]], [[schinus molle]], [[swietenia mahagoni]], [[tabebuia]]. sp etc. |
|||
Amongst the ornamental and flowering exotic trees lining the roads in the park are the grevillea robusta (silver oak)—the first oaks introduced to Bangalore from [[Australia]]<ref name = "kar_nata"/>—and the [[delonix]] or the [[gulmohar]] tree (bright red flowers with long petals) along the Cubbon road in the park, which is a widely cultivated [[tropical]] ornamental tree around the world.<ref>http://www.deccanherald.com/archives/jun192005/finearts1332232005617.asp The wandering Gulmohar tree</ref> |
|||
The chronological résumé format is by far the most common résumé layout in use. In using this format, the main body of the document becomes the Professional Experience section, starting from the most recent experience going chronologically backwards through a succession of previous experience. The chronological résumé works to build credibility through experience gained, while illustrating career growth over time. In the United Kingdom the chronological résumé tends to extend only as far back as the subject's [[GCSE]]/[[Standard Grade]] qualifications. |
|||
=== |
===Avenues === |
||
The avenue of araucarias along with [cCanna]] beds on either sides of the road from the Central Public Library to Hudson circle, avenue of Swieteninas in the Northern side of the park, the Java [[fig]] avenue along the road leading to the Government Museum, polyalthia avenue along the road from Queen’s statue to [[King Edward]] statue and the [[chestnut]] tree avenue from the Chamarajendra statue to Siddalingaiah circle are testimony to the botanical richness of the park. From the Attara Kacheri towards the East, terrace garden developed on a gradient provides a beautiful sight.Other attractions at the Park are the Ringwood circle, lotus pond and bamboo grove nook.<ref name = "kar_nata"/> |
|||
A functional résumé lists work experience and skills sorted by skill area or job function. |
|||
== Gallery == |
|||
The functional résumé is used to assert a focus to skills that are specific to the type of position being sought. This format directly emphasizes specific professional capabilities and utilizes experience summaries as its primary means of communicating professional competency. In contrast, the chronological résumé format will briefly highlight these competencies prior to presenting a comprehensive timeline of career growth via reverse-chronological listing with most recent experience listed first. The functional resume works well for those making a career change, having a varied work history and with little work experience. A functional résumé is also preferred for applications to jobs that require a very specific skill set or clearly defined personality traits. |

==Historical buildings and monuments integral to the park== |
|||
====Combination résumé==== |
|||
The formal gardens, from the central hall of the original [[Attara Kacheri]] (means 18 government offices) now the [[Karnataka High Court]], extends along the central promenade developed symmetrically with avenues, to the Museum building. Another impressive artistic structure in the park is the Sheshadri Iyer Memorial Hall, which houses the Central Library with a rose garden as a frontage. Other buildings located within or at the periphery of the park are 1) the Indira Priyadarshini Children’s Library, 2) the Venkatappa Art Gallery, 3) the Aquarium (stated to be the second largest in India), 4) the YMCA, 5) Yuvanika - the State Youth Centre, 6) Century Club, 7) Press Club, 8) Jawahar Bal Bhavan, 9) Tennis Pavilion, 10) the Cheshire Dyer Memorial Hall and 11) the Ottawa Chatter<ref name = "kar_nata"/>. |
|||
The combination résumé balances the functional and chronological approaches. A résumé organized this way typically leads with a functional list of job skills, followed by a chronological list of employers. The combination résumé has a tendency to repeat itself and is therefore less widely utilized than the other two forms. |
|||
[[Image:Bandstand.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Bandstand in [[Cubbon Park]] in [[Bangalore]]]] |
|||
A bandstand, in an octagonal shape made with cast-iron, was built in the early part of the 1900s. Before India’s Independence, the British Royal Air Force used to play western band music at the band stand every Saturday evening<ref>http://www.hindu.com/2008/06/02/stories/2008060257160300.htm Band stands in parks</ref>. |
|||
An atraction for children is the well planned children's amusement park as part of Jawahar Bal Bhavan, which has the toy train that runs (0.75 miles or 1.2 km) within the Park, the Doll museum and a boating facility. A 20 million year old fossilized tree - a gift from the Geological Survey of India, is also reported at the park<ref name=coun_ind>http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/country/india/bangalore About Bangalore</ref>. |
|||
Memorials in the form of marble statues in honour of Queen Victoria (installed in 1906), King Edward VII (installed in 1919), Major General Sir Mark Cubbon, Sri Chamarajendra Wodeyar (installed in 1927) and Sir K. Sheshadri Iyer (installed (in 1913) are seen located in front of the historical buildings within the park<ref name = "kar_nata"/>. |
|||
===Curriculum vitae=== |
|||
In the United States and Canada, a CV is expected to include a comprehensive listing of professional history including every term of employment, academic credential, publication, contribution or significant achievement. In certain professions, it may even include samples of the person's work and may run to many pages. |
|||
===Attara Kacheri === |
|||
In the [[European Union]], a standardised CV model known as [[Europass]] has been developed (in [[2004]] by the [[European Parliament]] and [[European Commission]]) and promoted by the EU to ease skilled migration between member countries. |
|||
[[Image:Bangalore HighCourt.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Orginally Attarakacheri now the High Court of [[Karnataka]] in [[Bangalore]] at the entrance to Cubbon Park]] |
|||
[[Attara Kacheri]], built in 1864 A.D under the reign of [[Tipu Sultan]], is a stone structure in an intense red hue, a two storied building with [[Corinthian]] columns in [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic]] Style of architecture and is located at the entrance to the Park. The Public offices (Secretariat of the Government of Karnataka) were located here from 1868 AD to 1956 AD, which were later moved to the Vidhana Soudha, opposite to it. The building now accommodates the [[Karnataka High Court]]. In the Central Hall a portrait of Sir Mark Cubbon decorates the ceiling. An equestrian statue of Cubbon by Baron Marochetti is located at the back of the building<ref>http://www.bangalore-karnataka.com/travelinformation/attarakacheri.htm Attara Kacheri</ref>. <ref name = “high_court”>http://www.bangaloreindia.org.uk/tourist-attractions/attara-kacheri.html Attara Kacheri (High Court)</ref>. |
|||
=== |
===Museum === |
||
The State Archeological Museum, one of the oldest in [[India]], built in 1876 by Colonel Sankey, located within the Park, is similar in design to the Attara Kacheri in its architectural style and hue. While the original collection in the museum belonged to [[Benjamin L. Rice]] of the [[Mysore]] [[Gazetteer]], antiquities from [[Mohenjodaro]] period are on display in the [[Museum]]. Exhibits in the Museum include specimens of [[Vijaynagar]] and [[Halebid]] [[architecture]], ancient coins and stone inscriptions as old as 5000 years.<ref name = “high_court”/>.<ref>http://bangalore.clickindia.com/travel/cubbonpark.html Cubbon Park</ref>. |
|||
In many contexts, a résumé is short (usually one page), and therefore contains only experience directly relevant to a particular position. Many résumés contain precise [[keywords]] that the potential employers are looking for, make heavy use of active verbs, and display content in a flattering manner. |
|||
===Seshadri Iyer memorial hall=== |
|||
In the past, résumés used to be no longer than two pages, as potential employers typically did not devote much time to reading résumé details for each applicant. In some countries employers have changed their views regarding acceptable résumé length. Since increasing numbers of job seekers and employers are using Internet-based job [[search engine]]s to find and fill employment positions, longer résumés are needed for applicants to differentiate and distinguish themselves. Since the late 1990s, some employers have been more accepting of résumés that are longer than two pages, but not those in Australia. Many professional résumé writers and human resources professionals believe that a résumé should be long enough so that it provides a concise, adequate, and accurate description of an applicant's employment history and skills. The transmission of résumés directly to employers became increasingly popular as late as 2002. Jobseekers were able to circumvent the job application process and reach employers through direct email contact and résumé blasting, a term meaning the mass distribution of résumés to increase personal visibility within the job market. However the mass distribution of résumés to employers often can have a negative effect on the applicant's chances of securing employment as the résumés tend not to be tailored for the specific positions the applicant is applying for. It is usually therefore more sensible to adjust the résumé for each position applied for. |
|||
[[Image:Sir Seshadri Iyer Memorial Library Library, Cubbon Park rea view.JPG|thumb|right|250px|A rear view of Sir Seshadri Iyer Memorial Library in Cubbon Park]] |
|||
Seshadri Iyer Memorial Hall, built in 1915 AD in a classic European style with [[Tuscan]] and [[Carinthian]] columns, in honour of Sir K.Seshadri Iyer who was [[Dewan]] of [[Mysore State]] from 1883 to 1901, is an impressive red building with gables. It houses the Seshadri Memorial library<ref name = “high_court”/>.The memorial building is ensconced in the middle of the park, framed by the greenery of the park and with a beautiful frontage of the rose garden<ref name=coun_ind/>.The Library has an area of 300 sqkm and functions as the Apex of the Karnataka Public Libraries system, which is governed by State Library Authority.In the year 2000 AD, the Libarary was awarded the Raja Rammohan Roy Library Foundation Award for the best state central library in India in recognition of it's outstanding contribution to meritorious services rendered in the spread of knowledge and gearing up of library movement in the city of Bangalore in particular and in the state of Karnataka in general. The library has presenly a collection of 2.65 lakh books and also Brellie division<ref>http://164.100.80.120/karpublib/english/types%20of%20libraries.htm State Central Library</ref>. |
|||
==Preservation Act, 1979== |
|||
The complexity and simplicity of various résumé formats tends to produce results that vary from person to person, occupation, and industry. It is important to note that résumés used by medical professionals, professors, artists and people in many other specialized fields may be comparatively longer. For example, an artist's résumé, typically excluding any non-art-related employment, may include extensive lists of [[Solo exhibition|solo]] and group [[Art exhibitions|exhibitions]]. |
|||
The Preservation Act,1979 passed by the Government of Karnataka to preserve the uniqueness of the park is under the provision of Karnataka Government Park (Preservation) Act, 1975 <ref>http://www.esgindia.org/campaigns/cubbonpark/docs/Annexures%20to%20IA.htm |
|||
The Karnataka Government Parks (Preservation) Act, 1975</ref>, which states: |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
''Accordingly, it is directed that neither any land should be granted to nor any further constructions be permitted whether temporary or permanent by any organization or individuals in the Cubbon Park and [[Lalbagh]] areas except the constructions taken up by the Horticulture Department in furtherance of the objectives of the department.'' |
|||
</blockquote> |
|||
==Awareness campaign == |
|||
===Curricula vitae=== |
|||
The Centre for Environment Education (CEE), India, in the year 2006, embarked on a project to develop a brochure on the Park and involve the young in several activities to help them to explore the park and through it, learn more about the wider environment. The brochure brought out as a joint effort of CEE, Department of Horticulture, ING Vysa Bank and volunteers brings out all the facts about the park and also invites, through the post card attached to it, for interested individuals to become ‘Friends of the Cubbon Park.’<ref>http://www.bgci.org/educationcongress/proceedings/Authors/Nareshwar%20Meena%20-%20AS.pdf Urban green spaces: Lungs of the city and centres of biodiversity education</ref>. |
|||
{{Unreferencedsection|date=July 2007}} |
|||
As with résumés, CVs are subject to recruiting fads. For example, |
|||
*In German-speaking countries, a picture was a mandatory adjunct to the CV for a long time. |
|||
*In the huge [[India]]n job market, photos and good looks are strongly preferred in the [[service industry]] ([[hotels]], [[aviation]], etc.) and in sales-[[marketing]], [[front office]] and [[customer service]] jobs. Additionally, Indian employers prefer lengthy resumes. |
|||
*Including a photograph of the applicant is strongly discouraged in the U.S. as it would suggest that an employer would discriminate on the basis of a person's appearance — [[age discrimination|age]], [[racial discrimination|race]], [[sexism|sex]], [[Physical attractiveness|attractiveness]], or the like. The theatre and modeling industries are exceptions, where it is expected that résumés will include photographs; actors refer to such photos as [[head shot]]s. |
|||
*When listing non-academic employment in the U.S., the newest entries generally come first (reverse chronological). |
|||
*The use of an "objective statement" at the top of the document (such as "Looking for an entry-level position in stores") was strongly encouraged in the U.S. during the mid-1990s but fell out of favor by the late-1990s. However, with the avalanche of résumés distributed via the Internet since the late 1990s, an "objective" and/or "skills summary" statement has become more common to help recruiters quickly determine the applicant's suitability. It is not prevalent elsewhere. |
|||
*A profiling statement (or thumbnail description) was a protocol developed by placement agencies in the late 1980s. Many candidates now open their CV with such a statement. This can be a short paragraph or a handful of bullet points delineating the candidate's most desirable skills and experiences. |
|||
*Listing of computer skills (such as proficiency with word processing software) was a strong differentiator during the 1980s but was considered [[passé]] for most professional positions by the 1990s. |
|||
*In the 1980s and early 1990s in the U.S., the trend was to not allow a resume to exceed one page in length. In the late 1990s, this restriction fell out of vogue, with two- or even three-page resumes becoming common. |
|||
==References== |
|||
====A British curriculum vitae==== |
|||
A standard British CV used to have the following points<ref>McGee, Paul; ''Writing a CV that works'', Dec 2002</ref> |
|||
*Personal details at the top, such as name in bold type, address, contact numbers and, if the subject has one, an e-mail address. Photos are not required at all, unless requested. Modern CVs are more flexible. |
|||
*A personal profile, written in either the first or the third person, a short paragraph about the job seeker. This should be purely factual, and free of any opinion about the writer's qualities such as "enthusiastic", "highly motivated", etc. |
|||
*A bulleted list of the job seeker's key skills or rather, professional assets - skills alone are somewhat unsophisticated |
|||
*A reverse chronological list of the job seeker's [[work experience]], including his or her current role. The CV should account for the writer's entire career history. The career history section should describe achievements rather than duties. The early career can these days be lumped together in a short summary but recent jobs should illustrate concept, planning, achievement, roles. |
|||
*A reverse chronological list of the job seeker's [[education]] or [[training]], including a list of his or her [[qualification]]s such as his or her academic qualifications ([[GCSE]]s, [[Advanced Level (UK)|A-Level]]s, [[Higher (Scottish)|Highers]], [[academic degree|degree]]s etc.) and his or her professional qualifications ([[NVQ]]s and memberships of professional organisations etc.). If the job seeker has just left the place of education, the work experience and education are reversed. |
|||
*Date of birth, [[gender]] if you have an ambiguous first name, whether you have a [[driving licence]] used to be standard - but nothing is required and you should not waste space on trivia. An employer requesting date of birth and gender needlessly could find itself on the losing side of recent [[anti-discrimination legislation]]. |
|||
*The job seeker's [[hobby|hobbies]] and [[Attention|interest]]s (optional) |
|||
It is obligatory for it to be typed or word-processed, not hand-written. |
|||
There are certain ''[[faux pas]]'' for CVs: |
|||
*The CV being longer than two full sides of [[ISO 216|A4]] paper |
|||
*Writing anything [[pejorative]] about other persons or businesses.<ref>Hargreaves, Julie: ''How To Write a 'killer' CV or Résumé; Section 3 - Hidden Messages'', 2006, Retrieved May,15 2007. http://www.hark.net.au/cgi-bin/viewebook.plx?bkdir=writing_cv&bkname=cv</ref> |
|||
*If applying for a specific position, omitting a [[cover letter|covering letter]] explaining one's suitability. |
|||
CVs should be purely factual without implying skills which do not exist. |
|||
==Online résumés== |
|||
The Internet has brought about a new age for the résumé. As the search for employment has become more electronic, résumés have followed suit. It is not uncommon for employers to only accept résumés electronically, either out of practicality or preference. This electronic boom has changed much about the way résumés are written, read, and handled. |
|||
* Job seekers must choose a [[file format]] in which to maintain their résumé. Many employers, especially recruitment agencies on their behalf, insist on receiving résumés only as [[Microsoft Word]] documents. Others will only accept résumés formatted in [[HTML]], [[PDF]], or plain [[ASCII]] text. |
|||
* Many potential employers now find candidates' résumés through [[search engine]]s, which makes it more important for candidates to use appropriate keywords when writing a résumé. |
|||
* Including an e-mail address in an online résumé may expose the job seeker to [[E-mail spam|spam]] (see [[Spambot]]). |
|||
Some career fields include a special section listing the life-long works of the author. For computer-related fields, the [[softography]]; for musicians and composers, the [[discography]]; for actors, a [[filmography]]. |
|||
Keeping résumés online has become increasingly common for people in professions that benefit from the multimedia and rich detail that are offered by an HTML résumé, such as actors, photographers, graphic designers, developers, dancers, etc. |
|||
Job seekers are finding an ever increasing demand to have an electronic version of their résumé available to employers and professionals who use [[Internet recruiting]] at any time. Internet résumés differ from conventional resumes in that they are comprehensive and allow for self-reflection. Unlike regular 2 page résumés, which only show recent work experience and education, Internet résumés also show an individual's skill development over his or her career. |
|||
For job seekers, taking résumés online also facilitates distribution to multiple employers via Internet. Online résumé distribution services have emerged to allow job seekers to distribute their résumés to employers of their choices via email. |
|||
Another advantage to internet résumés is the significant cost savings over traditional hiring methods. The Employment Management Association has included internet advertising in its cost-per-hire surveys for several years. In 1997, for example, it reported that the average cost-per-hire for a print ad was $3,295, while the average cost-per-hire with the Internet was $377.<ref>[http://www.careerjournal.com/hrcenter/weddlesguide/19990405-weddle.html Career Development Articles - Career Planning Guide - Career Opportunities<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> This in turn has cut costs for many growing organizations, as well as saving time and energy in recruitment. Until the development of résumés in an electronic format, employers would have to sort through massive stacks of paper to find suitable candidates without any way of filtering out the poor candidates. Employers are now able to set search parameters in their database of résumés to reduce the number of résumés which must be reviewed in detail in the search for the ideal candidate. |
|||
Finally, the internet is enabling new technologies to be employed with résumés, such as video résumés--especially popular for multimedia job seekers. Another emerging technology is graphic-enabled résumés, such as Visual CV. <ref>[http://www.usnews.com/articles/business/careers/2008/05/28/how-an-older-worker-can-get-the-interview.html How an Older Worker Can Get the Interview - US News and World Report<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

Cubbon Park (ಕಬ್ಬನ್ ಪಾರ್ಕ್) is a landmark ‘lung’ area of the Bangalore city, located within the heart of city in the Central Administrative Area. Originally created in 1884, when Major General Richard Sankey was the then British Chief Engineer of Mysore state, it covered an area of 100 acres and subsequent expansion has taken place and the area reported now is about 300 acres. It has a rich recorded history of abundant flora and fauna plantations coupled with numerous impressive and aesthetically located buildings and statues of famous personages, in its precincts.[1][2] This public park was first named as “Meade’s Park” after Sir John Meade, the acting Commissioner of Mysore in 1884 and subsequently renamed as Cubbon Park after the longest serving commissioner of the time, Sir Mark Cubbon. To commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar’s rule in Mysore State, in the year 1927, the park was again renamed as "Sri. Chamarajendra Park", in memory of the 19th Century ruler of the state Sri Chamarajendra Wodeyar (1868 - 94) during whose rule the park came into existence.[3] The landscaping in the park creatively integrates natural rock out crops with thicket of trees, massive bamboos, with grassy expanse and flowerbeds and the monuments within its limits, regulated by the Horticulture Department of the Government of Karnataka. The predominantly green area of the park has many motorable roads, and the well laid out walking paths running through the park are frequented by early morning walkers and the naturalists who study plants in the tranquil natural environment.[3]
Tourists visiting this Park in the city of Bangalore have nicknamed the city itself as 'Garden City'.[4]
The importance of the Park to the city's environment is best stated by two Urban Architects who have won the national competition to design 'Freedom Park':
It is difficult to tell someone who is visiting Bangalore today what they can see here other than Lal Bagh and Cubbon Park.[5]
Access
The Park is accessible from M.G. Road, Kasturba road, Hudson Circle and Ambedkar Veedhi (Road). The motorable roads which run through the park are allowed for light motor vehicles only. All locations of the park are accessible through walking paths. The Park is open to the public at all times but the roads are closed for traffic from 5 A.M to 8 A.M every day.[6]
Botanical assets
Indigenous and exotic botanical species found in the park are about 68 genera and 96 species with a total of around 6000 plants/trees. Indigenous species found in the park are:[7] artocarpus, cassia fistula, ficus, polyalthias etc., and exotic species such as araucaria, bamboo, castanospermum australe, grevillea robusta, millettia, peltophorum, schinus molle, swietenia mahagoni, tabebuia. sp etc.
Amongst the ornamental and flowering exotic trees lining the roads in the park are the grevillea robusta (silver oak)—the first oaks introduced to Bangalore from Australia[3]—and the delonix or the gulmohar tree (bright red flowers with long petals) along the Cubbon road in the park, which is a widely cultivated tropical ornamental tree around the world.[8]
Avenues
The avenue of araucarias along with [cCanna]] beds on either sides of the road from the Central Public Library to Hudson circle, avenue of Swieteninas in the Northern side of the park, the Java fig avenue along the road leading to the Government Museum, polyalthia avenue along the road from Queen’s statue to King Edward statue and the chestnut tree avenue from the Chamarajendra statue to Siddalingaiah circle are testimony to the botanical richness of the park. From the Attara Kacheri towards the East, terrace garden developed on a gradient provides a beautiful sight.Other attractions at the Park are the Ringwood circle, lotus pond and bamboo grove nook.[3]

Historical buildings and monuments integral to the park
The formal gardens, from the central hall of the original Attara Kacheri (means 18 government offices) now the Karnataka High Court, extends along the central promenade developed symmetrically with avenues, to the Museum building. Another impressive artistic structure in the park is the Sheshadri Iyer Memorial Hall, which houses the Central Library with a rose garden as a frontage. Other buildings located within or at the periphery of the park are 1) the Indira Priyadarshini Children’s Library, 2) the Venkatappa Art Gallery, 3) the Aquarium (stated to be the second largest in India), 4) the YMCA, 5) Yuvanika - the State Youth Centre, 6) Century Club, 7) Press Club, 8) Jawahar Bal Bhavan, 9) Tennis Pavilion, 10) the Cheshire Dyer Memorial Hall and 11) the Ottawa Chatter[3].
A bandstand, in an octagonal shape made with cast-iron, was built in the early part of the 1900s. Before India’s Independence, the British Royal Air Force used to play western band music at the band stand every Saturday evening[9]. An atraction for children is the well planned children's amusement park as part of Jawahar Bal Bhavan, which has the toy train that runs (0.75 miles or 1.2 km) within the Park, the Doll museum and a boating facility. A 20 million year old fossilized tree - a gift from the Geological Survey of India, is also reported at the park[10].
Memorials in the form of marble statues in honour of Queen Victoria (installed in 1906), King Edward VII (installed in 1919), Major General Sir Mark Cubbon, Sri Chamarajendra Wodeyar (installed in 1927) and Sir K. Sheshadri Iyer (installed (in 1913) are seen located in front of the historical buildings within the park[3].
Attara Kacheri
Attara Kacheri, built in 1864 A.D under the reign of Tipu Sultan, is a stone structure in an intense red hue, a two storied building with Corinthian columns in Gothic Style of architecture and is located at the entrance to the Park. The Public offices (Secretariat of the Government of Karnataka) were located here from 1868 AD to 1956 AD, which were later moved to the Vidhana Soudha, opposite to it. The building now accommodates the Karnataka High Court. In the Central Hall a portrait of Sir Mark Cubbon decorates the ceiling. An equestrian statue of Cubbon by Baron Marochetti is located at the back of the building[11]. [12].
Museum
The State Archeological Museum, one of the oldest in India, built in 1876 by Colonel Sankey, located within the Park, is similar in design to the Attara Kacheri in its architectural style and hue. While the original collection in the museum belonged to Benjamin L. Rice of the Mysore Gazetteer, antiquities from Mohenjodaro period are on display in the Museum. Exhibits in the Museum include specimens of Vijaynagar and Halebid architecture, ancient coins and stone inscriptions as old as 5000 years.[12].[13].
Seshadri Iyer memorial hall
Seshadri Iyer Memorial Hall, built in 1915 AD in a classic European style with Tuscan and Carinthian columns, in honour of Sir K.Seshadri Iyer who was Dewan of Mysore State from 1883 to 1901, is an impressive red building with gables. It houses the Seshadri Memorial library[12].The memorial building is ensconced in the middle of the park, framed by the greenery of the park and with a beautiful frontage of the rose garden[10].The Library has an area of 300 sqkm and functions as the Apex of the Karnataka Public Libraries system, which is governed by State Library Authority.In the year 2000 AD, the Libarary was awarded the Raja Rammohan Roy Library Foundation Award for the best state central library in India in recognition of it's outstanding contribution to meritorious services rendered in the spread of knowledge and gearing up of library movement in the city of Bangalore in particular and in the state of Karnataka in general. The library has presenly a collection of 2.65 lakh books and also Brellie division[14].
Preservation Act, 1979
The Preservation Act,1979 passed by the Government of Karnataka to preserve the uniqueness of the park is under the provision of Karnataka Government Park (Preservation) Act, 1975 [15], which states:
Accordingly, it is directed that neither any land should be granted to nor any further constructions be permitted whether temporary or permanent by any organization or individuals in the Cubbon Park and Lalbagh areas except the constructions taken up by the Horticulture Department in furtherance of the objectives of the department.
Awareness campaign
The Centre for Environment Education (CEE), India, in the year 2006, embarked on a project to develop a brochure on the Park and involve the young in several activities to help them to explore the park and through it, learn more about the wider environment. The brochure brought out as a joint effort of CEE, Department of Horticulture, ING Vysa Bank and volunteers brings out all the facts about the park and also invites, through the post card attached to it, for interested individuals to become ‘Friends of the Cubbon Park.’[16].
