Navarang Circle — the prominent roundabout and bus stop junction at the heart of Rajajinagar in west-central Bengaluru — is one of the city’s most vibrant and most historically rooted residential neighbourhood junctions, anchored by the iconic Navarang Theatre (also written Navaranga Theatre) — one of Bengaluru’s most beloved and longest-running Kannada cinema halls — and flanked by Navaranga Park, the Rajajinagar Metro Station (Green Line), Basaveshwara College, and the dense commercial and residential fabric of Rajajinagar’s 1st and 2nd Block zones. The circle stands on Mahakavi Kuvempu Road and Doctor M.C. Modi Hospital Road / Doctor Rajkumar Road — two of west Bengaluru’s most important neighbourhood arteries — and serves as the daily transit reference for the massive residential population of Rajajinagar, Nagapura, Mariyappanapalya, Mahalakshmi Layout, and Vijayanagar. Rajajinagar Metro Station on the Green Line is just 336 to 447 metres from the circle — a 5 to 7-minute walk — making Navarang Circle one of the best Metro-connected neighbourhood junctions in western Bengaluru. The first Green Line Metro near the circle arrives as early as 4:33 AM.
