This research presents an integrated blue-green urban framework to address persistent water logging in the Manyata Tech Park region of Bengaluru. Drawing on the principles of sacred temple hydrology, Sir M. Visvesvaraya's engineered flood resilience strategies, and Patrick Geddes' Valley Section theory, the paper proposes a culturally rooted and ecologically sound solution. Using GIS-based mapping and ground analysis, the study assesses lake connectivity, volumetric deficiencies, and hydro-logical disconnections. The proposal emphasizes the cascading of neighborhood lakes, creation of sacred wetlands, implementation of natural percolators, and strategic placement of manmade recharge structures. This design reestablishes ecological flows, promotes aquifer recharge, and restores sacred spatial memory while engaging local communities. The result is a prototype for urban water resilience rooted in cultural wisdom and ecological science.
