The Vidhana Soudha houses the Karnataka State Secretariat and State Legislative Assembly.
Construction began in 1952 and was finished in 1956. About 5000 labourers and 1500 chisellers, masons and wood-carvers worked on the project. Almost all the unskilled workers deployed in its construction were convicts, who were given their freedom on its completion.
The entire cost of the project was Rs 1.75 crore.
