List of areas in Bengaluru Pete
This is a list of areas in Bengaluru Pete, a 2.24km2 market area in Bangalore, India.[1] Bengaluru Pete was established by Kempegowda I in the 16th century, with different areas in the Pete named after the respective trade activities that took place or the communities that lived there. The two main areas were Chickpet (small market), which ran from west to east, and Doddapet (large market), which stretched from north to south.
Most of the areas retain these names with exceptions such as Doddapet, which is now known as Avenue Road, and Aralepet, renamed as Cubbonpet during British Raj.
