This suburb of Bangalore, once called satellite town, now falls well within the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike limits. Yelahanka has a rich history, home to Bangalore’s founder Kempe Gowda. Thanks largely to its proximity to the Bengaluru International Airport, it is today one of the fast-expanding localities of Bangalore. The Aero-India show at the Yelahanka Airforce Station is one of the big events that has the whole city landing at its doorstep of Yelahanka once in two years. Photo: Bhagya Prakash K.
