• 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.
