Rajajinagar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rajajinagar is a residential locality in the west of Bangalore. It is bordered by Basaveshwaranagar, Malleshwaram, Mahalakshmi Layout , Vijayanagar and Rajajinagar industrial suburb. Rajajinagar is divided into two stages, the first stage to the west of the second. Rajajinagar 1st stage is divided into 6 blocks from north to south. The 4th block is further divided into the 4th M block and the 4th N block. The other names of some of the areas constituting Rajajinagar are Subramanyanagar, Kethmaranahalli, Nagapura, Mariyappanapalya, Prakash Nagar, Srirampuram; etc. The newly constructed four-lane grade separator makes it easy for vehicular traffic to move out of Rajajinagar towards Okalipuram.

The area to west of the Chord Road was earlier considered to be a part of Rajajinagar, but most maps today show that area as a part of Basaveshwaranagar. Chord road is among the longest roads in Bangalore connecting Yeshwanthapur through Mahalakshmi Layout, Rajajinagar, Vijaynagar, R. P. C. layout, Attiguppe to Mysore road, about 8 kilometres in length.

It has many schools and colleges that gives the best coaching. It boasts of having the highest number of bar and restaurants in Bangalore.
