Thindlu, once an ancient

Bengaluru city style. With many new residential apartments and with the influx of people this area does not resemble anymore like an rural village, although some areas still retain Village type old houses. Although declining, Animal husbandry can still be witnessed here like any other part of Bangalore Rural district
.

Residential Layouts

Thindlu has many residential layouts and many of the residential houses are recently built. Before these layouts were constructed, this area was a forest and as a result, snakes are sometimes witnessed in this area. Residential areas include Bullet Krishnappa Layout, Canara Bank Layout, Sir M Visvesvaraya Layout, Tennis Village and many more. There are also many newly built multi storey residential apartments. Tennis village which is 5 minutes walkway from Thindlu circle has tennis court as well as swimming pool for its members and was founded by Mahesh Bhupathi. Population of Thindlu has grown from few hundreds to large numbers due to its proximity to many educational and leading organisations such as Bharath Electronics Limited, Indian Institute of Science, TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Larsen & Toubro and many more. Thindlu is just a walkaway distance from National Centre for Biological Sciences and University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. Manyata Embassy Park which houses global giant companies such as Phillips is 20 minutes drive from this area. There is a new double road constructed that runs from MS Palya to Canara bank Layout via Vidyaranyapura and Thindlu. A new building is constructed at Canara bank layout at the end of the double road for National Centre for Biological Sciences. This new building is two-minute drive from Thindlu circle on the double road. There is also a beautiful park in this area where many people come for walking. Compared to nearby areas such as Vidyaranyapura and Sahakara Nagar, house rent and real estate prices are very much lower in Thindlu and Kodigehalli and this is also one of the reasons for the rapid development of residential layouts.
