BENGALURU
The most lively city of South India, Bangalore or Bengaluru is a melting point of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. A bustling city today, Bangalore often reminisces about its days as a sleepy cantonment area of the British. The Bangalore Palace, the Attara Kacheri (High Court), St. Mary’s Basilica, Tipu’s Palace, ISKCON Temple and the Bull Temple highlight Bangalore’s many personalities and are monuments that mark its journey. It is now known as the Silicon Valley of India because of its pre-eminent position as the nation’s leading IT employer and exporter. Bangalore combines a quaint old world charm despite its reputation as a modern, high-tech city. The city presents a varied sight-seeing experience with palaces, museums, temples, churches and gardens.
