Bangalore

Bangalore, now called as Bangaluru, is capital city of Karnataka, a southern Indian province. Deeply steeped into history, Bangalore had been established by Kempe Gowda. Presently, Bangalore has shot to the fame for being centre of Information Technology (IT). Hence, Bangalore, now-a-days an evolved metropolis, offers a tourist lot more to explore ranging from golden past to modern strides being made by India. Bangalore Fort was constructed in 1537 by Kempe Gowda, the founder of Bangalore. The original fort was made of mud. Later, Tipu Sultan made it his bastion and converted it into a stone-built fortress. During Mysore War, the British captured Bangalore Fort and caused it great damag e. Even after that, Bangalore Fort's Delhi gate and two bastions are still existing primary remains of the fort. Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace is also located into the fort. Built in 1887 by Chamaraja Wodeyar, Bangalore Palace is inspired by England's Windsor Castle. This beautiful palace has Tudor style architecture, with fortified towers, arches, green lawns, and elegant woodcarvings in its interiors. Drawing inspiration from Windsor Castle of England, the Wodyar Maharajas of Mysore constructed Bangalore Place in 1887. In its heydays, Bangalore Place, built in Tudor style architecture, was an eminent piece of architecture. Its past glory is still visible in fortified towers, arches, green lawns, and elegant woodcarvings in its interiors. But, its importance as a tourist attraction has been recognized quite late and remained neglected for long time as rundown building with paint peeling on the interior. Though, it has been now opened for general public to behold, it generally remains as a tourist trap. Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, also known as ‘The Abode of Peace’ is situated within Bangalore Fort and is mostly built of teakwood. Intricately carved pillars, curved arches and balconies and Ganesh Temple are the highlights of Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace, a two storey structure. The Bull Temple of Bangalore is a prime tourist attraction. Built in traditional Dravidian style of temple architecture, Bull Temple is dedicated to ‘Nandi’- the bull which is considered as Lord Shiva's vehicle as per Hindu mythology. The monolithic bull statue of granite measures 4.6 metres tall and 6m long. Bull Temple is locally called as "Nandi temple"or Bhoganandiswara temple. The first of its kind in India and established in 2001 to showcase landmarks and evolutionary stages of India’s aviation industry, HAL Aerospace Museum in Bangalore displays a range of aircraft as well as helicopters, Aircraft engine models, Flight simulators, a mock Air Traffic Control Tower in addition to exhibit of Indian aviation history.

Maharaja of Mysore has been instrumental in turning mental in 1954, it becomes All India Institute of Mental Health. It was declared a deemed university in 1994. Having evaluated its contribution to society and brain science, Government of India has conferred it institute of national importance. A visit of NIMHANS is like weaving through the history of the state, science and the social milieu. Enriched with 30 years of research and display of more than 600 brains, NIMHANS Brain Museum offers opportunity to see the brain, understand how it works and get an insight into the kind of diseases that can affect it. Popularly called Ecity within Bangalore, most often refered to as Electronic City, it was named "Electronic City" by its founders. Electronic City, today is the largest industrial technology hub of Bangalore, housing about 300 companies, and a very large work force of employees. ISKCON is an abbreviation of International Society for Krishna Consciousness. ISKCON is a society engaged in spreading Lord Krishna’s message and creating Krishna consciousness across the globe. The ISKCON Temple in Bangalore, built as a splendid blend of neo architectural styles and classical Dravidian temple architecture style, is the biggest temple among more than 350 ISKCON temples across the world. The morning program starts at 4:15 am and ends at 9:00 am. Darshan is open till 1:00 PM. The complex also houses ISKCON museum, Bhaktivedanta Book Trust, and the Dakshinakriti shop for handicrafts. The Legislative Chamber of Karnataka, called Vidhana Soundh, was built in 1954 in a neo Dravidian style of architecture. It is a landmark of Bangalore. Though it is not open to the public, but its mesmerizing beauty can be seen every Sunday evenings as it is then beautifully floodlit.

Coimbatore, the third largest city of Tamil Nadu is situated in the foothills of Nilgiri Mountain. Ancient temples are the prime monuments and tourist attracts. Some of these temples are more than 1000 years old and are still in well preserved state. Hindu temples where religious rituals are performed are known as live temples.

Cochin, known as Queen of the Arabian Sea, is an ancient port city with all modern amenities. Cochin, locally called Kochi, is termed as commercial capital of Kerala, a southern Indian state.

Cochin is known for its historical monuments, Chinese connections, spice market and superb harbours. The Jews Synagogue is locally called as Paradesi Synagogue. Paradesi means ‘belonging to another country and culture’. The Jews Synagogue, built in 1568 AD, is one of the oldest living or active synagogues in the world. The existence of this synagogue is a testimony of tolerance & co-existence of Hindu religion & culture. This synagogue is located in the old part of Mattenchery Town in Kochi and is known as Jew Town. Located in Mattenchery, the old town of Kochi, and close to the Jews Town, the Dutch Palace is also called Mattenchery Palace in local parlance. Built in 1555 A.D. by the Portuguese, later captured by the Dutch and finally presented to Raja Veera Varma, king of Kochi, Dutch Palace is a never-to-be-missed tourist destination of Cochin.

Built in 1503 by Portuguese traders, it was then a wooden structure. Later, in 1506 AD, king of Kochi allowed Portuguese Viceroy Dom Francisco Almedia to convert it into a long-lasting stone structure. The reconstructed stone church, completed in 1516 AD, had been dedicated to St. Anthony. In 1663, the church went into the hands of the Dutch and they turned it into a government church. Later, the British captured it and made it a protected monument in 1923, under the Protected Monuments Act of 1904. St. Francis Xavier Church is also famous for being the burial ground of Vasco-de-Gama, the first European to discover a route to India.

Originally called as Calicut, this place has been one of the most important commercial centers of Kerala. It was here at the Kappad beach, 20 kms. away, that Vasco da Gama, the first European traveller to reach India, landed in 1498. Unlike Goa or Kochi, Where the Portuguese influence is still discernible, Kozhikode shows very little evidence of this influence. The ruins of the fort, built here is perhaps the only evidence that can be seen. The phenomenal growth of this part has been attributed to the Zamorine, the ancient rulers of Kozhikode. Many merchant vessels have called at this port, lured by the rich property of Malabar, pepper, ivory and spices. About the 14th century, the Zamorins were the richest kings in the India. They encouraged the building of temples, besides beings great patrons of sculpture, art and learning. Tippu Sultan of Mysore occupied this place for same time and finally it went to the British in 1792. Kozhikode can be made as the base by tourist who desires to visit some the interior places.

The signature dish is the spicy pork or beef Vingaloo. The Goan sausage-chorizo-is 'hot', literally. Other notable dishes include sorpotel (Pickeled pig liver and heart) and chicken xacuit. The juice of the cashew fruit is fermented to produce feni, the potent local brew. Goa is one place that knows how to party, where people come for their bit of fun and sun.
