A British-era military outpost over 150 years old, hidden within an Indian Army campus in Domlur, Bengaluru, has been revived after years of neglect. The fort-like structure, once along the old Bengaluru–Chennai route, was covered by thick creepers and wild plants for more than 25 years. It was rediscovered in 2024 during a lake revival project by the NGO HandsOn Foundation. The Indian Army and over 150 volunteers from HandsOn Foundation cleared the site. They worked for 15 to 20 days to remove the dense vegetation. Military personnel and their families also helped on weekends. When the gates were finally opened, the team found a large inner ground surrounded by multiple rooms. Experts identified the site as a British Army depot and protection post built around the early 19th century. It could house 30 to 40 soldiers. The massive iron gates suggest horses or elephants might have been kept there. A small circular enclosure is believed to have been used to hold prisoners. Its design limited sunlight and visibility, showing signs of strict control. Records about the building were not found, but military service documents on site date back to 1839. Experts think the outpost was part of a wider British military network in the area. Domlur was an important military zone after the fall of Tipu Sultan in 1799. Today, the restored outpost is used by the Army Women’s Association and other charitable groups for meetings and activities.
