Malleswaram is a North-Western suburb of Bangalore city. It's one of the zones of BBMP. It was developed as a planned suburb after the great plague of 1898,[1] which caused many people to move out of the city center. It derives its name from the Kadu Malleshwara Temple.[2] The neighborhood houses many offices.
