📜 Historical Roots

Jayanagar was planned in the 1940s and developed through the 1950s as Bengaluru expanded southward. Named to honour the victory of Indian independence, the layout's wide roads, systematic block numbering and provision of community spaces reflected the planning idealism of the early post-independence period. It became a model for subsequent residential layouts across Karnataka.
