FOOD STREETLOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS

LOCATED IN ONE OF THE OLDEST LOCALITIES OF BANGALORE- V V PURAM.IT STRETCHES FOR 200MTS, STARTING FROM VB BAKERY IN THE NORTH TO ARYA SAMAAJ IN THE SOUTH.IS SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL AREAS, THUS MAKING IT A HUB FOR THE LOCALITIES.

• Food street started off with just a small “pettige angadi” in 1962, and later

• grew into what it is today thanks to the growing population of food lovers.

• V B bakery was existing much before that!• In the early 60’s, the area had only houses

with thatched roofs or “hanchina mane”.

•

•The 70’s influence can still be seen in some parts of the street.•Some shopkeepers still live in the houses above the shops

HISTORY

• According to our analysis, the impact of the culture and religion on the region is- • One of the reasons for settlement of the street venders and the shopkeepers is

that the majority of the population is comprised of the vaishya community.• Since the Vaishya community is known for bringing in variety and

authenticflavour of the Indian cuisine in their food, the same was experienced in the streets of V.V Puram.

• Also since this region is fairly old, it has more population of Brahmins, vaishyas and Jain..

• (V V Puram is close to basavanagudi, which is one of the Bangalore’s oldest region)

ANALYSIS ON CULTURE AND ITS IMPACT

• Due to this the food served is only Vegetarian. Also the presence of hindu temples, Mathas and Jain temples are prevalent.• The presence of many group dwelling units(a Vathara called colloquially) portrays the practices followed by these cultures and their interest towards community-hood or group interaction. •We observed the same in food street where in the vendors, shopkeepers and users are well adapted to the old structures, existing and the growth of these.• Though there is a diversity in the food , it brings many cultures together to create one.
