Bangalore is a fascinating city. I knew that it was called the Silicon Valley of India, but I didn't realize that it was so beautiful. I hope you'll share more views of this interesting city.
I think I'd enjoy visiting Bangalore. The flowers are gorgeous, and the reflection in the last photo is so soft and pretty.

A very different perspective of Bangalore, with fascinating history, grand architecture and colourful flowers. I do normally just think of it as software city!
Beautiful photos and place. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great weekend.
Your soft reflections look almost like a watercolor and you have framed the tall building perfectly with the open tree branches. Very nice!
