About the area

Basavanagudi

Basavanagudi takes its name from the Dodda Basavana Gudi, the Bull Temple on Bugle Rock with its large monolithic Nandi, and the Dodda Ganapathi temple beside it. Laid out as one of Bangalore's early planned extensions, it is known for Gandhi Bazaar, DVG Road and its old houses and bookshops.

Each year after the last Monday of Kartika, the Kadalekai Parishe groundnut fair fills the streets around the Bull Temple. Gavipuram and its cave temple of Gavi Gangadhareshwara lie just to the west.

Rituals families seek here

Basavanagudi is one of the strongholds of traditional Kannada Brahmin life in the city, and families here keep up Upanayana, Shashtyabdapoorthi, Varamahalakshmi Vratha and the annual Shraddha in their own Smartha or Madhwa paddhati.

Ganapathi Homa and Rudrabhishekam are frequently performed at home, particularly around Ganesha Chaturthi and on Kartika Mondays, in keeping with the neighbourhood's temples.

Practical notes

Gandhi Bazaar and DVG Road are crowded in the evenings and before festivals; early mornings are calmer.
Flowers, banana leaves and samagri are easy to find in Gandhi Bazaar.
During Kadalekai Parishe, Bull Temple Road is very busy; avoid scheduling during peak fair hours if you can.
Many homes here are older independent houses with courtyards suitable for a homa.
