Many foreigners turn up in Bangalore without really knowing why they've come. a few pass through on their way to seeing Satya Sai Baba at his ashram in Puttaparthy or at his temporary residence at the Whitefield Ashram on the outskirts of the city. What little there is to see is no match for the other attractions in the state, and the city's very real advantages for Indians are two-a-penny in the West. That said, Bangalore is a transport hub, especially well-served by plane and bus, and there is a few novelty in a Westernized city that not only offer good shopping, eating and hotels, but is the only place on this continent to boast anything resembling a pub culture. The lack of cows in larger parts of the city is a different indication of a Western orientation. For dusty and weary travellers, Bangalore can offer a few days in a relaxed cosmopolitan city that has a reputation as a safe haven.
