'''Jayanagar''' is an affluent residential and commercial neighbourhood in the city of [[Bangalore]] in [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. It is one of the [[Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike#Zones|zones]] of [[Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike|BBMP]]. It is sub-divided into seven [[Ward (electoral subdivision)|wards]].<ref>{{cite web|last1=RANGANNA|first1=T.

The foundation of Jayanagar was laid in the year 1948.<ref name="thehindu1">{{cite web|author=T. S. Ranganna |url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/oldworld-charm-sadly-eroded/article4656604.ece |title=Old-world charm sadly eroded |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=2013-04-26 |access-date=2013-04-30}}</ref> It is surrounded by [[Basavanagudi]], [[Jayaprakash Nagar, Bangalore|JP Nagar]], [[Wilson Garden]], [[Banashankari, Bangalore|Banashankari 2nd stage]], [[Gurappanapalya]], [[Suddaguntepalya]] and [[BTM Layout]] among other areas. It is in proximity to the [[Lal Bagh|Lalbagh Botanical Gardens]]. Jayanagar has 10 area blocks (including 4th 'T' Block), of which the 3rd and 4th blocks are largely commercial hubs, while the rest are mostly residential.

A 2010 survey by [[Daily News and Analysis|DNA Bangalore]] ranked Jayanagar as the most liveable place in Bangalore and still maintains the old charm of the city.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/bangalore/report_jayanagar-on-top-e-city-comes-last-in-survey_1480999 |title=Jayanagar on top, E-city comes last in survey |publisher=Dnaindia.com |access-date=2013-04-30}}</ref>

==History==
In [[Kannada language|Kannada]], Jayanagar splits into [[Victory|Jaya]] and [[City|nagar]] literally meaning ''Victory City''. It is not definitively known why that is. One school of thought is that ''Jaya'' comes from [[Mysore]]'s [[Maharaja]] [[Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar]].

The foundation of Jayanagar was laid in 1948. It was one of the first planned neighbourhoods in Bangalore and, at the time, the largest in Asia.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/real-estate/the-top-five-expensive-neighbourhoods-in-bangalore/article19445345.ece|title=The top five expensive neighbourhoods in Bangalore|last=Roofandfloor|date=2017-08-14|work=The Hindu|access-date=2019-01-14|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} Jayanagar constituency has seven wards and had 1.8 [[lakh]] voters {{as of|2013|lc=y}}.<ref name="thehindu1"/>

Jayanagar was traditionally regarded as the southern end of Bangalore. The "[[List of Namma Metro stations|South End Circle]]", where six roads meet, and the historic [[Ashoka Pillar]] (which was to mark the southern end) bear this fact. While newer extensions have taken away this distinction from Jayanagar, it remains one of the more southern parts of the city.

In 1976, during the regime of [[D. Devaraj Urs]], another iconic structure was added to Jayanagar, the Jayanagar BDA Shopping complex. It also housed the famous Puttanna Kanagal theatre.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kurien |first1=Anila |title=Jayanagar shopping complex comes to life at last |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/metrolife/metrolife-your-bond-with-bengaluru/jayanagar-shopping-complex-comes-to-life-at-last-724545.html |access-date=18 May 2020 |work=Deccan Herald|date=18 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200518144850/https://www.deccanherald.com/metrolife/metrolife-your-bond-with-bengaluru/jayanagar-shopping-complex-comes-to-life-at-last-724545.html |archive-date=18 May 2020}}</ref> There was a fire in 2008. Later a new development project was initiated in 2011-2012 during the tenure of [[B. S. Yediyurappa]] and [[B. N. Vijaya Kumar]] worth around 193 crores that also involved demolishing the Puttanna Kanagal theatre.<ref>{{cite news |title=Puttanna theatre to be razed soon |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/260691/puttanna-theatre-razed-soon.html |access-date=18 May 2020 |work=Deccan Herald|date=29 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120705123345/https://www.deccanherald.com/content/260691/puttanna-theatre-razed-soon.html |archive-date=5 July 2012}}</ref>
