Bengaluru’s famous Avarebele food festival is back for its 2023 edition and city residents are once again unable to resist its famous delicacies. The Avarebele Mela, which usually takes place at the narrow yet iconic food street at VV Puram, has now shifted its venue to National College Grounds, Basavanagudi, to accommodate more visitors.
Inaugurated by author and Infosys co-founder Sudha Murthy on Thursday, the unique food festival hosts around 40 stalls featuring over 100 delicacies with avare or hyacinth bean as the chief ingredient. This includes masala idli, holige, samosa, dosa, paddu, ice-cream, payasa, vada, gobi manchurian, peri peri masala and sweets.
Curiouscity: A go-to destination for kids in Bengaluru to have fun with science
While science can be a very niche domain for some, it can also be a ‘Eureka’ moment for others. Museums, laboratories, and exhibitions can help you navigate through the world of science and technology, but with Curiouscity, a discovery centre off Sarjapur Road, you can have ‘fun’ with science.

That is how Bengaluru-based Dr Shonali Chinniah, a marine ecologist, expresses her love for science. Established in 2020, Curiouscity aims to be the go-to destination for students between Class 4 and 7 and for young adults who are curious to know diverse topics of science.
