Bangalore is the capital city of Karnataka, a southern state in India. Kannada is its local language. Bangalore has owned many names by its Geographical, technological, Socioeconomically growth status, Virtue & Cultural heritage. Bangalore took the name of "INDIA'S SILICON VALLEY" because of IT Revolution and Fast Pace IT Development in India. Thus, Bangalore from technological and economical point of view became IT Hub, High Tech Capital and Electronic Capital of India.



Many legends & concepts are associated with the name Bengaluru. Bangalore original name was Bengaluru as per history. As per historians, "Bendakalooru" was the origin word for Bengaluru. Bendakalooru is a Kannada word which in English means "the town of boiled beans". According to the concerned history & historians.. a king Hoysala Vira Ballala in the late 14th century went on a hunting expedition & the King Vira Ballala lost his way near Yelahanka. He wandered & wandered & got strayed. In that hungry moment an old woman offered King Vira Ballala the boiled beans.

And the King felt the cordialness & generosity of the old woman & named that place as BENDA KAAL -OORU which means "town of boiled beans", which later on transformed into BENGALURU which further took the anglicized form as BANGALORE. Besides this legend, one more related concept associated with the name Bengaluru was: Bengaluru name was found on Ganga inscription, which states about a battle that took place in 9th century A.D. The Ganga inscription stone was found in a village named Begur, where the battle held & which is about 14 KMs to Bangalore.

As per another supposition, Benga or Venga trees are found mostly in this region, so the name Vengaluru which on time lapse became BENGALURU. Bengavaluru means “the City of Guards” in Old Kannada (Halegannada). As per another supposition, Kempegowda a feudatory king of Vijayanagara Empire has built the new town in 1537, but it was believed that the town has been built after burning the forest. Thus, the town was called as Benda Kadu in Kannada which means burnt forest & uru means village. Benda Kaduru on further gradually changed to Bengaduru & at last got coined as BENGALURU.
