About Bangalore
Bangalore, rechristened as ‘Bengaluru’, capital of the State of Karnataka, once known as “Pensioner’s Paradise”, today is Asia’s fastest developing cosmopolitan city. Bengaluru is home to some of the most sought-after industries in India and is viewed as the ‘Tech-Basket’ of India.
Located 949 m above sea level in South India on the Deccan Plateau, Bangalore enjoys a salubrious climate throughout the year. The city boasts of spacious gardens, parks, tree-lined avenues, a profusion of flowering trees, lakes and parks, earning it the sobriquet of "Garden City." With its booming economy and racy lifestyle, the capital of Karnataka has metamorphosed from a sleepy Garden City into one of India's fastest growing, accommodating, technophiliac, and cosmopolitan cities. Bangalore is a city of contrasts, going by several other aliases: India's Silicon Valley, Pub City, Shopper's Paradise, Garden City, Air-conditioned City, Gourmet's Delight, Pub Hopper's Paradise and Shopper's Hot Spot.
