Bengaluru Artist Brings Crocodile to City Roads

The artists earlier turned Bengaluru’s potholes to ‘rakshasas’. But will he be able to turn all 2000 potholes?

Bengaluru’s traffic woes are nothing short of infamous. Add to it the poor condition of roads and potholes dotting every other street, and one gets to know more about the one of the most common hassles a Bengalurean faces on an almost daily basis.

The city reportedly has over 2,000 potholes in 422 of its main roads. Baadal Nanjundaswamy, a city-based artist, used one pothole on the Sultanpalya main road on Thursday to create a compelling art installation.

The artist is not new to street creations, especially when it comes to highlighting poor civic infrastructure in the city. With water bodies including lakes fast disappearing in the city, and the number of potholes on roads seemingly increasing by the day, maybe aquatic animals will have to look for a new abode.
