Avatihalli railway station, located north of Bengaluru, features a charming lime-yellow building with a terracotta roof and grey stone pillars. Its walls display a train timetable and a plaque noting that the station, under the South Western Railway zone, was restored in October 2022 by the Bengaluru chapter of INTACH.
The station is set to host a small museum focused on the origin story of silk for visitors. It is one of four heritage stations—Doddajala, Devanahalli, and Nandi—recently restored by INTACH Bengaluru along the KSR Bengaluru-Chikaballapur-Kolar railway line.
These restoration efforts aim to preserve living heritage, history, and livelihoods associated with the sites. The station entrance, shaded by trees, often sees cows grazing amid the afternoon heat.
