Kammanahalli is a locality located in the north-eastern part of the Indian city of Bangalore, Karnataka (now Bengaluru). It is bound by Kalyan Nagar, Banaswadi, HRBR Layout, HBR Layout, Maruthi Seva Nagar, Jeevanahalli, Hennur, Cox Town, Cooke Town, and Lingarajapuram. The locality is home to one of the most religiously and ethnically diverse communities, with multiple churches, temples, and mosques in the vicinity, hence having earned the nickname "Kammanhattan".[1] Kammanahalli is considered as a bustling cosmopolis with multiple retail shops, malls, residential areas, eateries, pubs, bars, and activities.[2]

The close proximity to the SMVT railway station, Banaswadi railway station, Swami Vivekananda Road metro station of the Namma Metro Purple Line and the upcoming Kalyan Nagar metro station of the Blue Line has resulted into skyrocketing real estate prices in the neighborhood, making it ideal for the upper middle class to invest and live in. Kammanahalli is well connected to the Kempegowda International Airport, which lies roughly just around 30 kilometres away. Sub-localities within the area include Ramaswamipalya (RS Palya), Munikalappa Garden Layout, Subbannaiahpalya, Jalvayu Vihar, Kacharakanahalli, St. Thomas Town and Kullappa Circle.[3]
