Garden City Bangalore

Immortalized as the Garden City of India, Bangalore, the capital city of Karnataka has been classified as ‘A’ class city.

It’s a well-planned city, with avenues lined with trees, a number of parks, gardens and lakes. It also called the Silicon Valley of India, because of the high concentration of IT industry. The founding of the city is attributed to Kempegowda who laid the foundations of this city around 1537 AD. Vidhana Soudha, Cubbon Park, Visweswariah Museum, Bull Temple, Ulsoor Lake, Leela Palace are few of the places you must visit in Bangalore.

Bhoga Nandeeshwara temple was originally built by a Bana Queen Ratnavali. The temple was dedicated to Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati.The Boga Nandeeshwara Temple houses three different temples namely, the Arunachaleshwara, Uma Maheshwara and finally the Boga Nandeeshwara temples. The highlight of the temple, in my opinion, is however the Shringi  Theertha (a stepped tank). Supervised and executed by engineers and architects led by the then Chief Engineer, late B.R.Manickam of the Public Works Department, the Vidhana Soudha is an arresting monument.
