<h2>Top Attractions in Bengaluru</h2>
<h3>ISKCON Temple Bangalore</h3>
ISKCON Sri Radha Krishna Temple was inaugurated in 1997. It is not just a temple, but a cultural complex housing temples dedicated to the Deities of Sri Sri Radha Krishna Chandra, Sri Sri Krishna Balarama, Sri Sri Nitai Gauranga, Sri Srinivasa Govinda, Sri Prahlada Narasimha, Bhakta Hanuman, Garudadeva, and Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON.

<h3>Cubbon Park</h3>
Cubbon Park dons many hats: a green lung in the heart of the city that also hosts a library, museums, a tennis academy, an aquarium, a toy train, and many statues and pavilions. It's probably one of the only parks to have a busy road cutting through it. In the wee hours of the morning or evenings, it's a jogger's paradise. Spring adds to the beauty of this park, with the lovely and colorful Tabebuia trees in full bloom.
<h3>UB City</h3>
With the opening of The Collection, UB City in Bangalore, a shopping trip to Europe, which was something that most Indian luxury enthusiasts were required to do to elevate their lifestyle, has become irrelevant. The luxury retail market in India has undergone a sudden and significant improvement. The city's most famous landmark, UB City - built jointly by Dr. Vijay Mallya &amp; the Prestige Group has seized the opulence of the Indian market in a significant way.
