Etymology

His Highness Sri Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar's association with Maharaja Srimant Yeshwantrao Hindurao Ghorpade led to common meetings, usually spent on hunting, and cup of tea in the outskirts of his Bangalore Palace. which was a small village and had the proximity of Mysore sandal soap factory. The conversation went late into nights, which made it difficult to head back to Palace. As a token of friendship. Maharaja Srimant Yeshwantrao Hindurao Ghorpade, Sri Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar renamed the Railway station in the area after the Yeshwantrao Ghorpade. Since, then the area has been popularly known as Yeshwanthpur. The largely popular Yesvantpur Junction railway station was commissioned by Mysore Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar X in 1881.


Yeshwanthpur comprises many lesser known historic places, viz.
