LIFE IN THE PETE |
Bangalore's medieval history is well known. However, not many know the communities and people of more recent days.
In this walk, as we walk through the dense commercial atmosphere of the old city, learn more about the people who've lived here and those who still call it a home; their occupations, culture and lifestyle.
Know more about historically settled trade communities like Devangas (weavers) or Ganigas (oil pressers) to more modern communities who came on business like the cotton merchants or as army (during monarchical times) and made this old city as their home.
Life in the Pete can be daunting, exciting, never mundane
