Vidyapeeta Circle — the established residential and transit roundabout at the junction of Vidyapeeta Main Road and the 80 Feet Road in the Srinivasa Nagar–Banashankari zone of south Bengaluru — is one of the most transit-convenient neighbourhood circles in the city’s expansive southern residential belt. Located in PIN 560050 / 560085, the circle sits at the convergence of multiple important thoroughfares connecting Jayanagar, Banashankari 3rd Stage, Padmanabha Nagar, and ITI Colony — making it a daily commuter reference for thousands of residents who live, study, and work across the Srinivasa Nagar–Banashankari corridor. The circle is flanked by the iconic Chandrodaya Theatre — a landmark cinema hall that has defined the cultural identity of the Vidyapeeta zone for decades — just 85 metres away, and the adjacent Shankarnag Circle a mere 187 metres further, confirming Vidyapeeta Circle’s position at the very heart of this residential neighbourhood’s social and transit geography. Both the Green Line and Yellow Line of Namma Metro serve the Vidyapeeta zone — with Rashtreeya Vidyalaya Road (Yellow Line) 1.37 kilometres away and Jayanagar Metro Station (Green Line) a 6-minute walk from the adjacent Vidyapeeth Main Road — making this one of south Bengaluru’s best-connected residential junctions. The first BMTC bus (Route 45-D) departs at 4:24 AM and services run through to 11:17 PM.
