About Chickpet:

• Chickpet, located in the heart of Bengaluru, is one of the city’s oldest and most historically significant neighborhoods. Its origins trace back to the 16th century during the time of Kempegowda, the founder of Bangalore and ruler under the Vijayanagara Empire. Kempegowda is credited with designing the layout of Bengaluru, and Chickpet was among the first markets or "petes" to be established as part of his vision for the city’s trading and commercial center.
• Originally, Chickpet—meaning “small market”—was a crucial hub for trading textiles, especially silk sarees, supplying luxury fabrics even to the royal families of Mysore. The area is also linked with the early years of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who reportedly spent part of his childhood here with his father Shahaji Raje Bhosale, whose residence was believed to be in what is known today as Chickpet.
• Chickpet developed into a bustling commercial area with narrow lanes famous for their wholesale and retail clothes markets, particularly sarees, gold, and silver jewelry. Over the centuries, these lanes grew to host a variety of specialized trading zones, each known for a particular type of merchandise. The area also features historic temples, old buildings, and many ancient structures that speak to its rich past.
• Even today, Chickpet remains a vibrant shopping destination, especially for textiles and silk sarees, and continues to be a symbol of Bangalore's rich trading traditions and multicultural heritage, reflecting the transitions from the era of the Mysore maharajas to modern times.
