Vidyaranyapura
Vidyaranyapura is a residential locality situated in the northern part of Bangalore, in the state of Karnataka, India. Along with several other extensions, Vidyaranyapura falls under the Byatarayanapura constituency. It is administered by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) under the Greater Bangalore jurisdiction.
Vidyaranyapura was established as a residential colony in the late 1970s. Prior to its development, the area was largely agricultural land owned by a prominent landlord, who continues to maintain a large mango orchard known as Dinshaw Estate.
Local legends suggest that Vidyaranyapura and its surroundings may have once been the site of a battlefield. This belief is partly supported by the nearby locality of Dandina Kodigehalli, where "Dandu" in Kannada refers to a cantonment or military camp. The township is named in honor of Vidyaranya, the renowned Kannada poet, saint, and priest.
Vidyaranyapura is located in the northwestern part of Bangalore, Karnataka, at an elevation of approximately 3,050 ft (930 m) above sea level, with coordinates 13°05′N 77°33′E. It is bordered by several localities, including Yelahanka, Thindlu, Kodigehalli, Doddabommasandra, Jalahalli, MS Palya, and Sahakara Nagar.
It is a composite locality comprising multiple sub-blocks and layouts: AMS Layout, Ganesha Layout, Balaji Layout, Defence Colony, Nanjappa Layout, Chamundeshwari Layout, Srinidhi layout, BEL Layout (Bharat Electronics), Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT) layout, and National Tuberculosis Institute NTI layout.
Vidyaranyapura is situated close to major public sector industries, including Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT). It also lies in proximity to several prominent educational and research institutions, such as the Centre for Liquid Crystal Research, the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, the Indian Institute of Science, the National Centre for Biological Sciences, the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, and the TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics. These institutions are easily accessible and the area is well connected by services operated by the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).
To the east of Vidyaranyapura, about one kilometre from the post office, lies Thindlu, one of the oldest settlements in Bangalore. Thindlu is known for its ancient temple dedicated to Lord Virabhadra, a fierce form of Lord Shiva.
Vidyaranyapura is west of the University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, and Thindlu. The area has a variety of trees and plants, which were planted by the Forest Department while converting it into a residential area. The native tree is predominantly the eucalyptus. The soil is very rich in nutrients and has a distinct red color.
