Banaswadi is a locality situated in northeastern Bangalore, about 6 km from the city centre on the outskirts of Bangalore Cantonment, bounded by Lingarajapuram, Hebbal, Nagawara, Thanisandra, Krishnarajapuram, Benniganahalli, Baiyyappanahalli and Maruthi Sevanagar.
Historically the area was known as primarily residential; little more than a village on the city outskirts;[2] however the ongoing expansion of the city limits, the proximity of the locality to the international airport and the arrival of the outer ring road connecting Banaswadi to the city's IT hubs has seen the rapid improvement of the area and the growth of commercial and business activities.
Nearest Namma Metro stations are Swami Vivekananda Road, Baiyappanahalli and Benniganahalli on the Purple Line.
The Banaswadi Anjaneya temple in the locality is popular and it is believed that on the day of Hanuman Jayanti, the eye of the deity in stone secretes tears.
