Hulimavu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hulimavu is a locality in the south of Bangalore under the bommanahalli municipal corporation.

[edit] History

Hulimavu was previously known as Amarapura, which came under the administration of saarakeya (present day sarakki). Apparently Amarapura was derived from the word Amra or Amru which translates to Mango or Sourness. Over years the name has evolved to its present name Hulimavu which in kannada literally means "sour mango". The than ruler of saarakeya (17th century) is believed to have built the kodandarama swamy temple in hulimavu for the well being of its citizens. Around 1850 AD the temple was renovated with the installation of idols of Seeta, Lakshmana and Anjenaya Swamy. Even today sri kodandarama swamy bramhostava is celebrated every year.
