Bangalore was called ‘Venkaaloor” previously which is somewhat height in location and low in heat.
f.s.gandhi
When at school in Bangalore, remembering studying about Kempegowda and his eating Bende Kaalu (baked beans) and how when he founded the city he called it bendekaalooru...



After all, Kempegowda was the founder of Bangalore, and he'd have a say in naming it!!
