Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox organization Bowring Institute is a Private members' club in Bangalore, India. It was founded in 1868 by Benjamin Lewis Rice.[1] It is named after Lewin Bentham Bowring.[2] It is best known for its tennis facilities,[2] but also has what is probably the largest library in Bangalore.[3]

History

The Bowring Institute completed 130 and 150 years in 2018 — 130 because the foundation stone of the current 12-acre property on St Mark’s Road was laid on 22 November 1888. However, the elite members-only club had an earlier avatar, which happened in 1868.Шаблон:Citation needed

The institute was formed at a time when the industrial revolution was at its peak in Europe.[4]

Membership

The membership to the club is quite exclusive. As of 2014, the membership fee was 2 million Indian Rupees.[5]
