Bengaluru, or Bangalore, is a megacity of eight million people, with 11 million in the metropolitan area. It is India's third largest city by population (27th in the world). Bangalore is an anglicised verstion of the city's Kannada name,  Bengalūru, and dates back to 890. It was Bangalore for centuries until writer and critic U.R. Ananthamurthy proposed to officially rename Bangalore back to  Bengalūru. It was official on 1 November 2014. Unfortunately for Ananthamurthy, he died in August 2014 and never got to see the official renaming.  The postcard is about She, the tiny, yet mighty, daughter of the endless ocean, barter of love and the queen of eternal peace.
