Halasuru is one of Bangalore's oldest settlements, dating back to the Ganga dynasty. The name is derived from 'Hala' (plough) and 'Uru' (village). The Someshwara temple and Ulsoor Lake are over a thousand years old. The area was traditionally a brahmin agrahara that evolved into a mixed residential neighborhood.
