Etymology
Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar's association with Yeshwantrao Ghorpade led to common meetings, usually spent on hunting, and a cup of tea in the outskirts of his Bangalore Palace, which was a small village and had the proximity of Mysore sandal soap factory. The conversation went late into the night, which made it difficult to head back to the Palace. As a token of friendship to Yeshwantrao Ghorpade, Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar renamed the railway station in the area after Yeshwantrao Ghorpade.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as suburb of Bangalore. 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 Aug 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5320606. Authority coordinates are 13.028, 77.546. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1881.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.
