Karnataka Raj Bhavan Renamed ‘Lok Bhavan, Karnataka’

Bengaluru, December 3, 2025 – In a move following directives from the Union Home Ministry (MHA), the Governor’s official residence in Karnataka has been officially renamed “Lok Bhavan, Karnataka.” The announcement was made today, Wednesday, December 3, 2025, after the Governor issued the necessary orders.
