Bellandur
Bellandur is a suburb in south-east Bangalore, Karnataka, India. It is bounded by HSR Layout to the west, Devarabisanahalli to the east, Sarjapur Road to the south, and the Bellandur Lake to the north. The Bellandur Lake is the largest lake in Bangalore, and separates Bellandur from the HAL Airport. The Outer Ring Road passes through Bellandur, making the area an important transit point between east and south Bangalore.
Initially a rural area, Bellandur has recently experienced a sharp rise in population and real estate development as a result of Bangalore's information technology (IT) boom. Although most of Bellandur's housing contains modern facilities, the suburb faces challenges such as water shortage, heavy traffic, and poor drainage which has resulted in severe pollution of Bellandur Lake. The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has constructed several borewells in Bellandur in attempt to mitigate the water shortage.
Bellandur will be soon connected to other parts of the city by a metro station of the same name, that would be a part of the Blue Line, of the city's metro network, expected to be ready by 2026.
Bellandur is home to the Bellandur Lake that was built during the reign of the Western Ganga dynasty in the 10th century CE. Historical artifacts excavated along the bed of the Bellandur lake shows evidences of early human settlement in the region. Dolmens, standing stones, stone circles, tools and other artifacts tracing their origin to the Megalithic Period have been discovered in Bellandur. Another excavation carried out by historian D.R. Gordon in 1945 unearthed ancient Roman coins in the region.
During the reign of the Chola dynasty in the 11th century CE, Bellandur was called Vikrama Chola Mandala. Tamil inscriptions from Cholas have been found at Kammasandra near Bidarahalli. Inscriptions from the earlier Ganga Dynasty can also be found at the hero stone (veeragallu) of King Shri Purusha.
Bellandur is a part of ward number 150 of the BBMP. The Bellandur ward falls under the Mahadevpura assembly constituency. The ward has a total area of 26.37 km2. Per the 2011 Census, the ward had a population of 80,180, with 22,368 households. The population of the ward rose by 290.60% from 2001 to 2011. In 2021, during the second wave, the local administration came in for heavy criticism. Even though Bellandur was one of the areas, along with the neighbouring HSR Layout, consistently recording the highest incidents of COVID-19 cases, the percentage of vaccines allotted to these regions were lower than the percentage allotted to the rest of Bangalore.
As of 2015, the Bellandur ward had 43 parks, accounting for a total area of 0.105 km2.
