Karnataka

In terms of area, Karnataka is the sixth largest state in India. The capital of Karnataka is Bengaluru, which keeps a prominent place in the IT sector. Therefore Bengaluru is rightly called the Information Technology Capital of India. Not long ago, Bangalore was famous all over the country as the "Garden City" now replaced by an 'IT City'.

In 1973, the Mysore State was renamed Karnataka. Several dynasties ruled in this region, and thus it has a distinctive culture. The early history of Karnataka states that it was a part of the Maurya Empire, and then it was ruled by the Satvahanas, Pallavas, Kadambas, and many more. Each dynasty has been immortalized in history through its architectural prowess, which can be seen in the form of monuments and temples spread across the state. After the independence of India, it got recognition based on 'Kannada speaking' people.
