Bengaluru Rural district, Administrative district in Karnataka, India
Description
Bengaluru Rural district is an administrative division in Karnataka state, India, encircling the state capital. The territory covers four talukas named Devanahalli, Nelamangala, Doddaballapura, and Hoskote, along with 294 villages and several municipal councils.
History
In 1986, the original Bangalore district split into two new administrative units: the urban district and this rural district. The division aimed to manage the growing city and its surrounding countryside separately.
Culture
The name derives directly from Bangalore and designates the rural areas surrounding the metropolis. Travelers passing through see temples and mosques in small settlements that serve as meeting points and shape the daily life of local communities.
Practical
Buses and trains link the towns together and run regularly toward Bangalore city, where commuters arrive and transfer. Travelers crossing the region find smaller stops along main roads and should expect longer travel times.
Did you know?
Kempegowda International Airport sits within these rural district boundaries and draws travelers from many countries. Just a few kilometers away, grain fields still grow where farmers harvest millet and sugarcane.
