Culture
Cultural life of Bangalore is closely related to the
diversity of its population. More or less every nook and corner of India have
their representative in this Silicon Valley and multi cultural spirit can also
be witnessed during any festival when the folks iron out the region, religion,
class, caste barriers and take part heartily. However, Bangalore has its own
traditional festivals like Bangalore Karaga, Dussera, Deepavali, Ganesh
Chaturthi, Makara Sankrati and Ugadi.
