Bengaluru's 'Bangalore' has many towns - Richmond Town, Benson Town, Cox Town, Fraser Town etc.- with an English past. Admire the architecture of the ancient cathedrals, the monkey tops and the trellises of tiled tall roofed bungalows, a lifestyle far more relaxed than the modern world. The Towns of Bangalore, beyond the English, were a mix of diverse cultures and communities, bound by businesses and trade with the English Military.
