Situated at a height of over 3000 feet above sea level,
with numerous lakes and lush green cover, Bangalore was 'discovered'
by the British Colonial rulers of India, who found within their
cool clasp, an ideal escape from the scorching summer heat of
the plains. This former 'Pensioner's Paradise' is now a big,
bustling metro, home to millions and boasts of its own composite
culture, formed by the coming together of diverse elements.
The details given below will give you a quick snapshot of statistics
of the city that is evolving at a faster pace.
