Hulimavu is a locality in the south of Bangalore under the Bommanahalli Zone of Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).

[citation needed] Apparently Amarapura was derived from the word "Amra" or "Amru" which translates to Mango or "Sourness".

The then ruler of Saarakeya (17th century) is believed to have built the Kodandarama Swami Temple in Hulimavu for the well being of its citizens.

Hulimavu is located on Bannerghatta Road and is connected to most other parts of the city by BMTC bus services.

Connectivity is supposed to further improve with the locality figuring in the Bangalore Metro Phase 2 plans.
