In India, the capital of Karnataka is Bangalore, originally Bangalore. City of Gardens, the Pub Capital of India, and the Silicon Valley of India all describe Bangalore. Bengaluru, however, was known as Pensioners’ Paradise before the IT revolution. It’s a perfect blend of old and new. Although Bengaluru does not have a huge amount of attractions as other Indian cities have, it still has an impressive blend of culture, history, art, architecture, and spirituality, as well as an excellent fit with the natural world and architecture in the city.
