A brief History of Bengaluru

Bangalore, now Bengaluru, began as a humble 16th-century settlement founded by Kempegowda I, who envisioned it as a fortified town with carefully planned markets and communities. Over the centuries, it evolved under the Wodeyars, the Mughals, the Marathas, and later the British, each leaving behind their architecture, culture, and traditions.

From a quiet garden city known for its lakes and greenery, Bangalore has grown into India’s Silicon Valley — a vibrant mix of old and new where history, technology, and culture blend seamlessly.
