Hulimavu

Hulimavu is a locality in the south of Bangalore under the Bommanahalli municipal corporation.HistoryHulimavu was previously known as Amarapura, which came under the administration of Saarakeya . 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 then ruler of Saarakeya is believed to have built the Kodandarama Swami Temple in Hulimavu for the well being of its citizens. Around 1600AD the temple was renovated with the installation of idols of Seeta, Lakshmana and Anjenaya Swami. Sri Kodandarama Swamy Bramhostava is celebrated every year. The temple was renovated again in 2002. 3LocationHulimavu is located on Bannerghatta Road.
