Gleefully cosmopolitan and remarkably progressive, the city of Bengaluru is a delight for anyone who visits it. Previously known as Bangalore, the capital city of the state of Karnataka is a buzzing city that thrives on a mixed and vibrant culture.
Bengaluru, the IT hub of India is also referred to as the ‘Silicon Valley of India.’ It’s one of the four major metropolitan cities in the country with a lifestyle that you will not find too unfamiliar. And exploring one of the biggest commercial centres, the Brigade road, will give you a sense of it. Name any brand, national or international, and you’ll find a store in this stretch. That clearly explains why it is the one of the busiest shopping areas in the city. Tired by the end of it all? You can choose to relax and enjoy a drink in one of the many pubs or retro-bars that are located here.
While the city is modern, it still preserves its cultures and traditions, and visiting the ISKCON Temple, located on the Hare Krishna Hill, will give you a glimpse of that. On the eve of Krishna Janmashtami, which is observed in the months of August or September, the entire temple is beautifully decorated with lights, flowers and festoons to mark the birth of Lord Krishna. And at the stroke of midnight, the devotees give their beloved Lord a ceremonial bath with sanctified water. The whole atmosphere is filled with great enthusiasm and you’ll experience a profound positivity around you.
