Located in South Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Kumaraswamy Layout is a sub locality in Banashankari.

## History

[edit]

Kumaraswamy Layout was formed in the late 1970's by the BDA. This area under BBMP is recently seeing development. This is one of the rapidly growing areas in Bangalore. This makes it one of the most conservative places to live in Bangalore. It has a substantial population of long-term, mostly Kannada-speaking residents.

## General information

[edit]

* Kumaraswamy Layout is divided into 2 stages, with the 1st stage being the largest.
* Geological Survey of India is located in this area.
* Kumaraswamy layout is also an educational hub surrounded by many colleges and institutions. The prominent ones being Dayananda Sagar Institutions, Delhi Public school South, Alpine School.
* The area has many parks. All are maintained by the BDA. However, until recently the parks were not as well developed as other parks in the city. The park near 15E bus stand (Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Park) is like a mini forest because of its length and extensive tree cover.
* Atma Darshan Yogashram, the southern branch of the Bihar School of Yoga is located in Kumaraswamy Layout (Opp Dayananda Sagar College).
* Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering which was established in 1979 is located here.

## Areas under Kumaraswamy layout

[edit]

* ISRO Layout aka Vikram Sarabhai Layout – It is an 83-acre (340,000 m2) planned residential area formed by BDA in the mid-1980s for ISRO employees. The area is now managed by Space Employees Cooperative Housing Society. This area is also known as Vikram Sarabhai Layout (ವಿಕ್ರಮ ನಗರ), after the Indian space scientist, Vikram Sarabhai. The BDA's development of ISRO layout acted as a catalyst and had a cascading effect and led to the forming of other areas around the layout.

An idol of goddess Vasanthanayaki, the consort of Vallabharaya swami, can also be seen.[4] Legend has it that sage Mandavya once disappeared from his ashram situated on the banks of the Ganges. His disciples were highly perturbed at the absence of their guru. They made a frantic search over the dales and hills. Finally, they located the rishi meditating in a cave in Vasanthapura. Another temple, situated by the side of Vallabharaya swami temple, is dedicated to Lord Bhavanishankara. This temple was constructed over 400 years ago by Samarth Ramadas, guru of well known Maratha ruler, Shivaji.[5]
