How do you take the city of Bangalore in the country of India and share the thousands of years of history. This city has been under the control of so many rulers and empires. How about a quick rundown. Let me see, in 1638, Bangalore, was known as Bengalooru and it was captured by the Marathes. They went along with their slow building business and then the city became apart of the Mughal Empire in 1687. The Mughal Empire was a super power back then of Islamic and Persian people. 1759 brought more changes to the area with Haider Ali governmental take over putting Bangalooru under the Kindom of Mysore’s rule. Haider Ali was the leader who put the famous glass house into the beautiful garden of the city. It is absolutely breath taking. Haider Ali’s son, Tipu Sultan, takes the throne after his death in 1782.
Tipu Sultan was defeated and killed in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War. The British East India Empire then took control all in 1799. In 1868, the Karnataka High Court, Attara Kacheri, was built under orders of Sir Mark Cubbon. He was commissioner of Mysore. Sadly, the bubonic plague runs rampid through Bengalooru and truly cripples the city. But this didn’t stop the city all together. They made a recovery and ended up being the first city to have electricity in India in 1905. A little over 40 years later the city showed its muscle and gain independence with the rest of India and becomes Mysore State. An incorporated state of the union. Mysore State was renamed at some point in 1973.
Now Bangalooru is called Bangalore and has become one of the technology hubs of India. There are many monuments around the city that will show visitors a piece of history left behind by all the ancient activity. So find one of the finest luxury hotels Bangalore has created, check in, leave your bag and get out to see some of this ancient Indian history.
