What's open on Diwali in Bengaluru?

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is India’s biggest celebration. Banks and government offices close for the holidays; most shops open late and malls run festive sales, though many family-run stores take the day off. In Bengaluru, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
