Once a sleepy regional capital, Bangalore today is a modern metropolis that will
come as a big surprise to those who are visiting for the first time. Also known as
Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka is the technological hub of India and this is
the very place where the country’s new, confident and global identity is being
forged. As the fifth largest city in India, Bangalore is said to be the fastest
growing city in Asia, with a plethora of interesting buildings and high tech
industries. As wealthier Indians flock to live here, Bangalore has become a
cosmopolitan city with a vibrant cafe and bar culture. The city might lack
historical sites but it compensates it with its buzzing, relaxed and liberal
atmosphere, providing the perfect base for exploring the beautiful temples and
