Shivajinagara, previously known as Blackpally, is a locality in Bangalore, India. It was named after the 17th century Maratha Emperor Shivaji, since he spent his childhood days there.[1]

Overview

Nearly half of Shivajinagar's residents are muslims, as such during Ramadan visitors to the area gather to enjoy a wide array of culinary delights and cultural experiences. Queueing up eagerly, they indulge in grill-charred kebabs, fried samosas, and large servings of falooda. Families initiate their fast-breaking rituals with a spread of fresh fruits, dates, and beverages. The street fairs near Russell Market circle offer a rich variety of delicacies, including haleem, mutton samosas, kebabs, and phirni, attracting a significant number of visitors from both the city and its peripheral areas who seek to partake in the festivities and savor the local flavors.[2]
