Murugeshpalya is a neighbourhood in

Bengaluru, India.^[1]

Location

It lies south of

Wind Tunnel Road

and cuts through Murugeshpalya on the western side. Extending west nearly 600 mts from the "mouth" of NAL road is the large "Murugeshpalya Domestic Camp". Further down the road, just before it reaches the runway of the HAL Airport, is one of Bangalore's oldest IT Parks: the "Golf View Campus".

Towards the Old HAL Airport [2] lies the Kemp Fort Mall, and further down is the Visvesvaraya First Grade college. The key landmark in this area is the Shiva temple, within the Kemp Fort Mall complex.

Economy

The Golf View Campus along the Wind Tunnel Road was once the home of IT firms such as

Lucent Technologies and Hewlett-Packard. Most of these companies moved to bigger tech parks, leaving Cognizant as the remaining IT company here. The old buildings are now being re-purposed; the campus now hosts Ola Cabs. The Uber office, the call center for Omega Healthcare and Truhealing (Obstetrician & Gynaecologist) are also located on this road.^[3] ^[4]

Shiva temple

The

Lord Ganesha statue and a Navagraha temple inside. Beneath the statue is a pathway where models of Shiva exist in different forms. These are often replicas of the lingams found in other parts of the country. One of the famous lingams located here is made of ice and is said to be a replica of the one in Amarnath.^[6]
