Funny English Name of Places in Karnataka

Need a good party game for elders and the young adult? Don’t have the time to prepare. Here is a game that has been a hit in all parties where I know it was played. Funny English names of Indian Places. Hand out a list of Place names translated in English. All participants have to identify the actual place name from the translated meaning. Let me explain with an example, Win Town is the translation. If the participant identifies this as Jayanagar, then he gets a point. It’s an easy game once you know the place names. But until then, it’s a brain tickler.

In a party in Bangalore, where the participants could relate to Kannada more than Hindi, it was a tough task to find English translations for the places in Karnataka. So I came up with this list of places in Karnataka that I have translated to English. Play this game and check it out for yourself the enthusiasm of people in the party.
