bangalore is such an amazing place. there are lots of temple and churches. The Bull Temple, located in Basavanagudi, is a typical Dravidian style temple. ISKCON Hare Krishna Temple is a perfect blend of modern technology and spiritual harmony. Holy Trinity Church, located at Trinity circle at the east end of the MG Rd, is a major landmark in Bangalore. The biological park zoo has a small museum for showcasing special exhibits, a reptile park and a small theatre. Pretty nice place to be with your loved ones especially with your buddies.
