History
The earlier name of Malleshwaram was Mallapura as documented in the Ekoji Inscription of Malleshwaram dated to 1669 CE located in the precincts of the famous Kadu Malleshwara temple. It records the donation of the Maratha chief Ekoji, half brother of Shivaji who donated a village Medaraninganahalli for the upkeep of the Kadu Malleshwara temple. Medaraninganahalli was a village that was located around the IISc campus. Another undated Kannada inscription in Sampige road was documented in the supplementary Volume 9 of Epigraphia carnatica, it mentions that the inscription was found near Jakkarayanakere which corresponds to the area around Krishna Flour Mill in Sampige Road, Malleshwaram. Much of the text published is incomplete and is a possible donatory inscription. However, the existence of Jakkarayana kere (lake) near Sampige road documented more than a century ago is established.
H. V. Nanjundaiah, the first Vice-Chancellor of Mysore University is credited with the building of the then suburb of Malleshwaram.[5] The neighbourhood of Malleshwaram has been host to many accomplished people: the Nobel laureate C.V.
