Join us for a walk through Johnson Market and its surrounding areas discovering this quaint British-era marketplace from a fresh perspective. We'll delve into the area's unique Shia heritage tracing back to a Persian man who made this place his home decades ago. Few people know about the roads and localities named after him and his descendants—a fascinating piece of Bangalore’s history.

Our journey includes a stop at a legendary local bakery sipping on Sulaimani chai learning about the martyrs of Karbala and visiting a historic church.

We’ll begin with a brief introduction to the area before exploring its heritage sites. Along the way you’ll enjoy a taste of local delicacies in between the stories of history.

**Instructions:**

- Wear comfortable footwear and bring a cap.

- Since we’ll visit places of worship please dress respectfully.

- Photography is allowed at most locations unless otherwise noted.
