"THE CITY'S HISTORY
Bangalore, known as the Silicon Valley of India, boasts a rich history that dates back centuries. Originally a small village called Bendakaluru, it was founded in the 16th century by the local ruler, Kempe Gowda. The city's strategic location on trade routes allowed it to flourish, attracting merchants and settlers from different regions. This diverse influx laid the foundation for a vibrant cultural tapestry that continues to characterise Bangalore today."
