Arekere
Suburb of Bengaluru, India
Arekere is a residential area located along Bannerghatta Road in South Bangalore. The name Arekere (Are: Half, Kere: lake) originates from a water reservoir in the area. It is divided into two halves by Bannerghatta Road. To its northeast lies Vijaya Bank Employees Layout, to its southeast lies Hulimavu, Doresanipalya and Panduranga Nagar lie along its west.

The area has also been notorious for gang activity, notably the Arekere Area Boys.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Arekere” as suburb of Bengaluru, India. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as suburb of Bengaluru, India. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3466512. Authority coordinates are 12.890, 77.600. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
