How Bangalore got its name


Here is a small fact on how Bangalore got its name ……Long Long ago there was a King Veerballa of Vijayanagara who once lost his way in forest. Hungry and tired, he came upon a lone hut in the thick forest where he met an old woman.When he asked for food, she gave him baked beans Benda kalu in Kannada .He found this humble meal taste better than the richest fare.To commemorate this incident, he called the place "Benda Kalu Ooru" Intresting isn’t it ....
It's now "Bengaluru"
Bengaluru has been a center of activities be it in Information Technology, Biotech, Automobile,Infrastructure, Real estate, Education, Politics etc .
The next big thing is the "New International Airport" in Devanahalli which is just days away from the grand opening. Its been much talked about and will for sure give a new face to " Bengaluru"
