Infantry Road is a 1.6-kilometer long one-way street in Bangalore's Central Business District. It connects Raj Bhavan with Commercial Street, and houses commercial, educational and administrative properties.[1]
The street was home to military activities of the foot soldiers of the British Raj in the 19th century, deriving its name from the military barracks situated near it.[1] The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) officially renamed the street as "Bhagwan Mahaveer Jain Road" in 2004, but the official name is seldom used.[2]
