Kathriguppe Circle — also written Katriguppe Circle — is the principal roundabout and daily transit junction at the heart of the Kathriguppe (Kathreguppe) neighbourhood in Banashankari 3rd Stage, south-western Bengaluru, anchoring one of the most densely populated and most culturally distinctive residential areas within the Banashankari zone. Kathriguppe is widely known in Bengaluru’s cultural circles as the neighbourhood associated with the legendary Kannada film actor Upendra — whose connection to Kathriguppe has significantly elevated its profile and recognition across Karnataka. Located in PIN 560085, the circle sits on Kathriguppe Main Road (also called the 80 Feet Road) — a key spine of the Banashankari 3rd Stage commercial and residential corridor, flanked by the Big Bazaar / PUMA store complex, restaurants, educational institutions, and the Janata Bazaar market. Banashankari Metro Station on the Green Line is approximately 2 to 3 kilometres north — accessible in 10 to 15 minutes — and National College Metro Station (Green Line) is approximately 3.5 kilometres away. The first BMTC bus near Kathriguppe (Route 323-E) departs at 3:43 AM, one of the earliest first-bus timings in south Bengaluru, underlining the neighbourhood’s high daily commuter demand.
