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.
