The heart of old Bangalore, Malleswaram is the place where time pauses. A favourite of writer RK Narayan, who lived nearby, it was allegedly the model for his fictional town of Malgudi. Take a look at the place that still reminds people of a more relaxed age.

Malleswaram Circle

The centre of all activity in town, the circle was once a stopping point for tongas or ‘jutkas’ as they are called in Kannada. They may no longer be there, but the markets around the circle remain

Veena Stores

If you walk down Malleswaram early one weekend to find an unending human chain near 15th cross and Margosa road, it emerges from this store. The small canteen delivers vadas, upmas and sheera to die for.

Sampige theatre

One of the older theatres in the suburb,renamed Savitha, this is quite the place to be during film releases. Cut-outs, milk baths and flower showers are common before big star releases.

Sankey Tank

Come sundown, the natives of Malleswaram set out for walks around this wonderfully ancient tank. If you are lucky enough, you might come across an elderly mama who might share memories of years when RK Narayan and CV Raman walked these lanes.

Janatha Hotel

Another old soldier of the suburb, the hotel continues to remain popular for its crisp vadais and Masala Dose. The McDs and Subways still haven’t found a way to beat this competition.

IISC Campus

Founded in 1899 with the help of Jamshetji Tata, this institution remains a premier one in the field of science and technology. It continues to be a matter of pride for both old and new residents of the suburb.

The pages of history tell us that the area now called Basavanagudi was an agricultural village called Sukenahalli, consisting of groundnut fields. It is believed that an enraged bull would ruin the groundnut crop year after year. Legend says that a farmer, frustrated with the rampaging bull, hit it with a club. The stunned bull sat still and became motionless. Soon, it transformed into stone. Later in repentance, the farmers built a temple for the bull. The name Basavanagudi stems from the Kannada word ‘Basava’ or bull. In tribute to this legend, every year, a groundnut fair called Kadale Kaayi Parishe is held around the Bull Temple area. All the local farmers congregate and offer their first groundnut crop each year to the sacred bull. Today, this is one of the many beautiful cultural events in Bangalore.

Basavanagudi as we know it today, was formally developed around the late 1800s. A devastating plague struck Bengaluru in 1896. By the year 1898, more than 3000 people were dead. The core areas of Bengaluru at the time were  Mavalli, Chamrajpet and the Fort area. Aware of the rapid spreading epidemic and its potential effects, the then Deputy Commissioner of Bengaluru, V P Madhava Rao ordered citizens to move to the outskirts of the city to distance themselves from the rampant plague.

Madhava Rao proposed the development of two new hygienic extensions of the city as ‘modern suburbs’. The government supported this idea, and thus two new extensions, namely Malleswaram and Basavanagudi, were built. The wide, tree line streets in Basavanagudi and its defined gridiron layout are owed to Madhava Rao’s foresight and vision. Basavanagudi is still home to some of the oldest and most beautiful gulmohur, tabebuia and coconut trees that sway mesmerically to the cadence of the wind.
