Emblem of Karnataka
Karnataka, a state in the southern part of India, was created on November 1, 1956, with the passing of the States Reorganisation Act. Originally known as the State of Mysore, the government renamed it Karnataka in 1973. Bangalore, the capital city, stands at the forefront of India's rapid economic and technological development. With an antiquity that dates to the paleolithic, Karnataka has been home to some of the most powerful empires of ancient India. Karnataka has contributed significantly to both forms of Indian classical music, the Carnatic and Hindustani traditions.
