Namaste (ನಮಸ್ತೆ) in Kannada — same gesture as Hindi; Hege idira (ಹೇಗಿದ್ದೀರ) — 'how are you?' formal
The Hornbill Festival (first week of December) at Kisama Heritage Village near Kohima is one of India's most extraordinary cultural events — all 16 Naga tribes perform together in traditional dress, with warrior dances, folk music, and traditional food stalls. Book accommodation in Kohima months in advance for festival week. The WWII cemetery on Garrison Hill, Kohima — where the British and Indian armies halted the Japanese advance in 1944 — is hauntingly beautiful.
Bengaluru has India's most vibrant craft beer scene — the city has over 30 microbreweries. The MG Road and Brigade Road area is the nightlife core, but the quieter Indiranagar and Koramangala neighbourhoods have the best restaurants and bars. Lalbagh Botanical Garden (240 acres) hosts a spectacular flower show twice a year (Republic Day and Independence Day) in its Victorian glass house — outside show season, it's the city's most peaceful escape from the traffic.
🇮🇳 Nagaland Fun Fact
Nagaland is home to 16 major Naga tribes, each with its own distinct language, costume, and traditions — tribes that were historically headhunting enemies of each other. The last recorded headhunting raid occurred in 1969. Today over 90% of Nagas are Christian — the result of American Baptist missionary work in the 19th century — making it one of the most intensely Christian regions in Asia. The state has no alcohol prohibition but produces no commercial wine.
🇮🇳 Bengaluru Fun Fact
Bengaluru hosts over 40% of India's IT exports, making it responsible for a significant share of the global technology services market. The city is also home to ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) — which put a spacecraft in Mars orbit (Mangalyaan) on its first attempt in 2014 at a cost lower than the production budget of the Hollywood film Gravity. Bengaluru has more pubs per capita than any other Indian city.
