Kempe Gowda (1513-1569), the founder of Bengaluru was a

feudatory of the Vijayanagara Empire. The town set up by him,
originally called Bendakaluru (town of cooked beans) grew
over time and came to be known as Bangalore under the
British. His son Kempe Gowda II built four towers (D6, E6, G5,
E4) in the cardinal directions to mark the boundaries of the

Nagasandra city. He is also credited with having built over a hundred tanks
and lakes as well as other monuments. Though today,
Dasarahalli Metro
Bengaluru has far outgrown even the vision of its founders, it
still continues to draw inspiration from their far-sightedness.
