Bangalore
The founding of present day Bangalore is attributed to the Magadi
Chieftain, Kempe Gowda, who laid its foundations in 1537. According to local
folklore the present name Bangalore, derives from 'Bendakalooru' or the town
of boiled beans, a name given by Veera Ballala, a king of the Vijayanagar
dynasty, who having lost his way in the forests was given a bowl of boiled
beans by a kindly woman here. However that may be, the founding of the city
is traced back to 1537 and it has seen the rule of the maharajas of Mysore
mainly. One of the factors that has gone in to make Bangalore the fifth
largest city in India today is its mild and healthy climate. A large number
of people, many from outside the region have thus made the city their
permanent home.
