Culture of Bangalore

Bangalore is not confined to being an IT City or the Pub City of the nation. But with more than 62% migrants in the city, it has flourished into a culturally diverse capital as well. 

As the IT, Education & Business sector expanded with the liberalization, Bangalore has transformed into a potpourri of religion & heritage.

Since 1981, the female to male sex-ratio has remained to be stagnant at 908 for every 1000 men in Bangalore. If compared to the urban ratios, Udipi, Dakshina Kannada & Chikamaglur (which are slightly smaller cities). The gender ratio here is more than thousand females for every thousand men. The literacy rate of Bangalore ranks ninth in the Nation.

This Garden City of the Nation has two botanical gardens namely Cubbon Park & Lalbagh, which has helped in the beautification of the State on the whole. 

Bangalore is also famous for its music & entertainment. The Silicon City is also home to Hindustani & Carnatic music, traditional dances of Bangalore, famous Art Galleries, Museums, Forts et al. 

Also being the Metal / Rock Capital of the nation, Bangalore is a home to many in-house bands. Also, if you turn a few pages back, a number of International music-stars have been performing in Bangalore for quite some time now.

The Pub-Culture has made the Bangalore Nights more peppy and alive. In spite of the fact that Bangalore is a multi-cuisine State, local customs here are attuned with core Indian culture and dishes. 

When talking about eating styles, alike all Indians, Bangalore-ians prefer eating with their hands rather picking up that shimmery cutlery of the west and digging their forks into their food.

Many people in Bangalore speak Kannada and the second most-spoken language in the garden it is English. Because of the presence of so many cultures at one place, languages like Tamil, Telegu and Hindi have also made their way inside Bangalore.


Major chunk of the Bangalore-ian population practices Hinduism. This can be visualized by the count of Temples in Bangalore. The large number of deities resent and worshiped showcases how much importance this religion shares in the City.




















With names like Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Mahesh Bhupati, Prakash Padukone, Javagal Srinath etc, Bangalore has always been linked to success in the field of sports. The city also has many state-of-the-art stadiums like the Chinnaswamy Stadium which is a very prominent stadium in India.
