The capital city of Karnataka, Bangalore (now officially called Bengalaru) is gaining ground in the tourism and business sector of India at a rate faster than any other city in Asia. A melting pot of culture today, Bangalore has become the latest sought after destination in the tourists’ lexicon and people from every walk of life, age and nationality are flocking to Bangalore not only for its importance in the IT sector of India, but for its sheer beauty, which the city has been able to keep intact even after the IT rage took over its quieter side. Despite the growth of industries in this ‘silicon valley’ called Bangalore, a touch of tradition is still noticed at its core, where images of old forts, palaces, historical buildings and places of worship get reflected upon the chrome and glass high rises dotting the city. The architectural grandeur of these places accentuates the beauty of tourist attractions in Bangalore, taking us away from the cacophony of the thoroughfares that is so much an integral part of Bangalore. The myriad tourist Places in Bangalore conjures up a picture of the old trying to stand with its head held high within the city as modernity is quickly making place for itself in the pubs, malls, discotheques and the disposition of the young generation of business personnel and residents. But what perhaps gives the city its popular name of ‘Garden City’ are undoubtedly the parks and gardens where the soothing greens, glorious pinks, majestic violets and flaming yellow-reds of trees and flowers play along coquettishly with the warm sunlight and cool breeze!
