Bangalore is a fast growing and progressive city. It is known as both the Garden City of India, and also India’s Silicon Valley. These seemingly contrasting names are indicative of the diverse nature of the city and area. Garden City refers to its luscious and green landscape and the reference to Silicon Valley is based on its position as the leading employer and having the highest number of information technology companies in India. It is India’s third most populous city and also the capital of Karnataka. Tourists who are staying in 5 star hotels Bangalore can be first hand witnesses to major landmarks that testify to these deserved nic-names. The Lal Bagh Glass House, and the pyramid designed headquarters of Infosys, India’s second largest IT company.
Bangalore is filled with public parks, which contributes to its being known as the Garden City of India. However, the Lal Bagh Glass House is an amazing confirmation of this. The beautiful building is famous for its grand flower shows and has become a heritage monument. It is part of the Bangalore Botanical Garden, which was commissioned by Hyder Ali, a ruler of Mysore. There is an aquarium and lake in the garden, which help to make it one of the city’s biggest tourist attractions.
Although Infosys is India’s second largest IT companies, that fact alone would not make it a popular spot for visitors to seek out. However, one of the company’s buildings, the Infosys Media Center, makes it a very attractive visual spectacle. The Center houses many video studios which the company uses to broadcast reports to stockholders. This mirrored building is certainly worth the effort to drive by and view though the main destination would be the Lal Bagh Glass House at the Botanical Garden where tourists can relax in its aromatic beauty and spend the afternoon.
