OF FLYOVERS AND OLD TEMPLES – DOMLUR
There are two major landmarks that define Domlur – the first is the Embassy Golf Links which is the official address of such bigwigs as Dell, Yahoo, and Google. The second is the flyover which has had its share of notoriety but is now a major thoroughfare for the area, making Domlur one of the most high-traffic and busy localities of Bangalore.
Did you know?
Amidst the blaring horns on the Old Airport Road flyover, you can find an ocean of peace in the Chokkanathaswamy Temple, which is a 10th-century temple dating back to the Chola reign.
Commute
So much has already been said about the Airport Road flyover in Domlur! It is one of the busiest roads in the city and a major connector to important localities. This area is also well connected by bus to Shivajinagar, Majestic, and Yeshwantpur. Cabs and auto rickshaws are also aplenty.
Lifestyle
The vast majority of people living in Domlur are those who work in the nearby office complexes. Living close to the workplace helps them save up on the commute and beat traffic. The residential part of Domlur, home to the Defence Colony and Air Force quarters, is slightly away from the crowd. Since most of the offices stay open late, the area has regular night patrolling and good security measures making it one of the safest localities of Bangalore.
