When it comes to luxury hotels, Bangalore has a lot to offer.  There are all the usual treats from a luxury hotel, established by standards in the industry, and then there are local touches and other exquisite attentions to detail that make your stay a memorable one.  Bangalore is a fascinating place, where culture and tradition occasionally merge, but often march in diverse rhythms.  Hospitality and graciousness here, however, don’t change, and guests can expect a very healthy supply of both.  There is an impeccable sense of design here, as well as a focus on the good things in life.  Guests can enjoy the many splendid offerings of the hotel, or go out and see the town, or a healthy dose of both.  It is easy to hide away from the day-to-day obligations and melt into rejuvenating the body and soul, and it is also easy to get caught up in the rich urban landscapes that make up today’s Bangalore.

Bangalore has a strong reputation as an economic force and a center of technology in India, as well as having a superb literacy rate, and one of the world’s largest universities.  There are many great minds in Bangalore, some home-grown, some who have left and recently returned, and some who move here.  They all bring a multitude of ideas and points-of-view that contribute to the fabric of the city.  One mover and shaker with some fascinating ideas is the young artist Prayas Abhinav.  He is interested in rethinking public spaces and urban spaces, and has been involved in some of the more heady open content movements in India.  His art practice is a fascinating one, and his work in new media is one that involves many collaborators.

Currently a post-graduate student at the Center for Experimental Arts at Bangalore’s Srishti School of Art, Design, and Technology, Prayas Abhinav has been building a very impressive list of credentials, which includes small films, publishing, performance work, art exhibitions and installations, and various community initiatives which are at the cutting edge of new media work in the world.  He has participated in the Make Them Love You (MTLY) Project in Chennai which is an interesting re-imagining of how mundane signs can affect the lives of the people who live in the city.  It will be interesting to watch this Bangalore artist as he continues to make work and ask questions.
