Bangalore, India, A Enormous City Famous For Technology and Religion

While staying in Hosur for a few days, my host decided to take me up to Bangalore for a day so I had an opportunity to see that city. I didn’t realize how important that city was in India. It’s considered the Silicon Valley of India. I didn’t get the opportunity to see the various tech companies it’s known for. Instead, I had my first dosa there. Oh man did I love it! I quickly started falling in love with Indian food.

I also got to see how deeply religious the people of India are by visiting areas of the city popular with Christians, Hindus, and Muslims. Unlike in the US, religion is on full display everywhere you go in India. It’s a huge part of the culture. Hindu statues decorate the city while hints of Christian and Muslim religious symbolism can also be seen.
