Bengaluru was not always this bustling city it is now, till a few years back it was the pensioner’s paradise, a calm and quiet garden city, full of culturally rich hot spots, parks, old temples, food streets and avenues of trees. Maybe the city has grown drastically, there are a few old Bangalore places that still retain the charm. A lovely place to start exploring this is Basavanagudi. It is one of the most amazing parts old Bangalore with markets, temples and a long-standing history and some authentic food places.
