Thindlu, once an ancient village, is now a part of the Bangalore North . Thindlu is famous for its ancient temple of lord Virabhadra (a form lord Shiva) and is currently a thriving community with many real estate constructions. Thindlu comes under Vidyaranyapura ward of Byatarayanapura constituency. Byatarayanapura is one of the largest constituency of Bangalore. Many residential layouts have recently come up. Thindlu is located to the east of Vidyaranyapura and to the west of Sahakara Nagar. Once a rural village, it has now become very well integrated to Bengaluru city style. With many new residential apartments and with the influx of people this area does not resemble anymore like an rural village, although some areas still retain Village type old houses. Although declining, Animal husbandry can still be witnessed here like any other part of Bangalore Rural district.

Kodigehalli inscriptions and hero stones
Kodigehalli inscriptions and hero stones

The area encompassing Kodigehalli and its sub-localities—Tindlu and Doddabommasandra—in Bengaluru contains several epigraphical and sculptural artifacts dating primarily from the 14th to 16th centuries CE. These include three Kannada inscriptions and two hero stones (Viragal, commemorative stones for fallen warriors). The name "Kodigehalli" likely originates from the Kannada words kodige (grant) and halli (village), possibly referencing a land grant detailed in one of the inscriptions found here. Over time, Kodigehalli became the predominant name for the area, largely replacing the older name, Virupakshapura, although a locality named Virupakshapura still exists within modern Kodigehalli. Among the findings is a Kannada inscription attributed to Prataparaya, dating to 1431 CE, which records a donation made during a solar eclipse to the Someyadeva temple in Sakanasamudra. This inscription contributes to Indian astronomical history by providing a specific date, 9 August 1431 CE (Julian calendar), linked to a solar eclipse, an event corroborated by NASA's Five Millennium Catalogue Of Solar Eclipses. The inscription's text has been published in Volume 9 of Epigraphia Carnatica, a key source for inscriptions in the region, and has been digitally archived by the Mythic Society. Two other inscriptions, from Tindlu and Doddabommasandra, date to the 14th and 15th centuries CE, respectively. The Tindlu inscription documents a donation by medieval merchant guilds, offering insights into historical trade practices. The Doddabommasandra inscription records a donation to an Agrahara (a settlement granted to Brahmins for learning and religious duties). In addition to the inscriptions, Kodigehalli houses two hero stones, which feature sculptures commemorating individuals who died in battle but lack accompanying inscriptions.
