Basavanagudi is a residential and commercial locality in the Indian city of Bangalore. It is located in South Bangalore, along the borders of Jayanagar. The name "Basavanagudi" refers to the Bull Temple, which contains a monolith statue of the Nandi Bull. The word Basava in Kannada means bull, and gudi means temple.[2]

The main commercial street of Basavanagudi is DVG Road,[3] which is home to numerous retail businesses, Most of them dating back to the 1920s and 1930s.

One of the most famous areas in Bangalore for eateries, Basavanagudi has historic restaurants in Bangalore, notably the famous Masala Dosa of "Vidyarthi Bhavan" which was opened in the pre-independence era of India in 1943.
