Malleshwaram is a locality in northwest Bangalore in Karnataka, India. One of Bangalore's oldest neighborhoods, it was founded in 1889 as a planned layout by the Wadiyar dynasty of the Kingdom of Mysore. Described as the "cultural heart" of Bangalore, Malleshwaram is bordered by the neighborhoods of Rajajinagar, Yeswanthpur, Seshadripuram and Palace Guttahalli. The name of the neighborhood is derived from the nearby Kadu Malleshwara Temple, which dates back to the 17th century. The neighborhood hosts several offices, including the Bengaluru World Trade Center, and two of the largest shopping malls in the city, Mantri Square and Orion Mall. Multiple colleges and universities are based in Malleshwaram, such as the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), the Mysore Education Society, Government First Grade College, and the Institute of Wood Science and Technology.
