Profile:
The sun set on British Colonial Rule in India many a sacred cow ago but there is now a vestige of that life to be fleetingly experienced in New Zealands own colonial outpost, the Bangalore Polo Club.
Info/News:
A well-themed escape from contemporary reality and the grey skies outside is to be had on entering the doors, flanked by life-sized wooden Indian sentries. An elaborate, luxurious, leathered interior causes the new entrant to gaze in captivated wonderment at all that he beholds. From the spectacle of the larger than life, flamboyant, framed British Raj images to the gentle caress of the Alligator skin covered handrail along the front of the bar, it all takes a little while to absorb and appreciate.
