This port city, whose original name was Mangalapura, finds mention in seventh century inscriptions. The city, known for its scenic beauty, is situated at the confluence of Netravati and Gurpur rivers. Mangalore is a narrow coastal strip, between the towering Western Ghats and the azure Arabian Sea. The city can often be mistaken for the Tower of Babel, with the sounds of several languages mingling on the peaceful streets.
