The foundation stone was laid by the then Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, on 13 July 1951. It was completed in the year 1956 at a total cost of around Rs. 1.75 crore.

Vidhana Soudha was built in the Neo-Dravidian architectural style and has the elements of Indo-Saracenic, Rajasthani and Dravidian designs. The magnificent white building is spread over 60 acres of land. The imposing white building comprises of several carved pillars, bases, pediments, cornices and arches.

The structure has four floors measuring 700 m × 350 m. Its eastern face has a porch with 12 granite columns, 40 feet (12 m) tall. The central dome of the building is 60 feet in diameter and is supported by 8 pillars. The central dome is crowned by the four headed lion, the national emblem of India. It also has six small domes, four in the front and two at the back side.

The attractive staircase with 45 steps is 204 feet wide, 70 feet deep and gives direct access to the floor leading to the Assembly Chamber. There are three hundred rooms in Vidhan Soudha accommodating about twenty-two departments of the state government.

Presently a replica known as Vikasa Soudha has been built by the government of Karnataka adjacent to the Vidhan Soudha as a secretariat building. The High Court of Karnataka is also located opposite to the building.

VIKASA SOUDHA
At a distance of 3.5 Kms from Bangalore City Railway Station, Vikasa Soudha, is one of the best buildings that the Karnataka government has built. This building is situated just next to Vidhana Soudha. It is the Secretariat building of Karnataka government.

This is a dream project of former Chief Minister SM Krishna. The construction of the building was initiated in 2001. It was built to house numerous government and legislative offices which would in turn take away the load from the Vidhana Soudha. It was built over a land area of about 8 acres. The building comprises eight floors housing 15 conference halls, 360 rooms. The granite with the fantastic stone carvings was chosen from stone pits concentrated at Mallasandra, Hesaraghatta, Koira & Avalahalli.

Vikasa Soudha incorporates some of the most modern facilities not seen in any of the other legislative buildings across the country. A grid interactive solar power system, Rainwater harvesting has been adapted.

It's located on Ambedkar Veedhi or Dr Ambedkar Rd, Seshadripuram.[12] Opposite to Vidhana Soudha is The High Court of Karnataka. Both buildings are in the Cubbon park, which is located near K.S.L.T.A (Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association).
