Bengaluru (Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Bengaḷūru), formerly Bangalore, is the largest city in southern India and the capital of the state of Karnataka. A cosmopolitan city, Bengaluru was developed around what was once a mud fort of a feudal lord. The city has a population of nearly 13 million (2025), making it India's fourth-largest city. Known worldwide as the "Silicon Valley of India", Bengaluru is at the core of India's information technology (IT) industry. In addition, the city is nicknamed the "Garden City" for its large array of parks and greenery.
