Bangalore in India
March 6th, 2009 by Caroline
Bangalore is a city of contradictions. It is known as both the “Garden City of India” and the “Silicon Valley of India.” This contrast of technology and parks, of software and gardens gives the city a unique energy and culture. As a center for the rapidly expanding IT and related industries in India, Bangalore or Bengaluru has become a mecca for young tech workers. However, the rich traditions and culture of Karnataka remain strong as does the desire to preserve the city’s beautiful parks and gardens.
With industry comes modern architecture. Bangalore is expanding with new office complexes, opulent five star Bangalore hotels edgy nightclubs, and great restaurants. The live music scene in Bangalore is one of the best in India, with many of the pubs and bars providing live bands. The city also has the reputation as the best venue for rock concerts, attracting many international stars each year.
However modern things get, Bangalore maintains a host of traditions and celebrations of its rich heritage. As the capital of Karnataka, it is home to Kannada theater, classical Indian music, as well as dance and art. There are numerous historic palaces and temples throughout the city as well forts and museums. The city also hosts a number of cultural and arts festivals throughout the year as well as observing traditiona Hindu festivals.
Visitors will want to make sure they take time to explore the city’s famous parks, gardens, and pastoral regions. The most famous are Lal Bagh and Cubbon Park, but the Lumbinin Gardens, Bannerghatta National Park, and the Bangalore Rural District are also beautiful examples of India’s natural beauty.
