RE:Bengalaru airport?????????

Rahul,

Bengaluru is how Bangalore is pronounced in Kannada, the language apoken in Karnataka.
The origin of the word Bangalore (Anglicised version of Bengaluru) is something rooted in history...it is derived from the name Bendakaaluru or the town of boiled beans.However there are other stories as well regarding how the name evolved.A google search will throw more light on that.

Hope that settles your confusion.

Best Regards,

Arun Kaulige
