Sadashivanagar

Sadashivanagara is an affluent residential neighbourhood in the northwestern part of Bangalore in the Indian state of Karnataka.

Sadashivanagara was created out of the former royal gardens, and is home to one of the original four towers built in 1597 by Kempe Gowda I, the founder of the city.

In the 1960s and early 1970s, the gardens of the Bangalore Palace (a summer home of the Wodeyar dynasty of Mysore) were converted into a residential neighborhood, and this was when the first lots in Sadashivanagara were purchased.

Many highly placed government officials, ex-governors, film stars and millionaire businessmen have bought homes in the neighborhood.

A less expensive area once known as Lower Palace Orchards spills over and partially surrounds the Bashyam Circle.
