Domlur

Domlur is a small township located in the eastern part of Bangalore city in India. Earlier it was known as Bhagat Singh Nagar, but for some unknown reasons, it is better known as Domlur. There is a debate over the exact meaning of Domlur From what can be deciphered from old people living in the area, Domlur is a word derived from Tombalur, a kind of flower which is used to worship Lord Shiva. This is further supported by the inscriptions found in Chokkanathaswamy temple in Domlur, which is believed to be constructed by Cholas. Another story says that the name Domlur is derived from the Telugu word "Domulu" which means mosquito. This story is substantiated by the fact that Domlur has a large population of Telugu speaking people and it has quite a significant population of mosquitoes as well.
