Bangalore Lights Up This Diwali Weekend

Here's what the average to do list looks like for Diwali: Time off work, eating yummy food, cleaning the house, having people over for dinner, decorating the porch with rangoli, front doors and windows with kandeels (lanterns), hearing neighbours celebrate with firecrackers, joining them. Right? Well for those of you visiting Bangalore, who might want to go beyond the tried and tested, or just aren't feeling the homely vibe, here's a list of five hotspots you might want to check out, around town.

The 13th Floor: For those of you not feeling the residential vibe, or those simply looking for a room with a view, you might want to head to  The 13^th Floor, located on M.G Road.

As the name suggests, one of the best views in the city, this restaurant would present you a delightful dinner party on the rooftop. There's a cosy, even romantic and we're pretty sure you'll get quite the spot to enjoy the inevitable fireworks, this Diwali.
