St. Mary’s Basilica, located in Bengaluru’s Shivajinagar area, holds a significant historical and cultural importance. As one of the city’s oldest churches, it’s a recognized landmark and a cherished symbol of Bengaluru’s heritage. Recent requests have been made to rename the Shivajinagar metro station to reflect this historical connection. The proposed renaming aims to acknowledge the station’s roots within the Basilica complex. The local government is currently reviewing the proposal, considering the potential impact on the station’s identity and the surrounding area. The decision-making process is underway.
