Chickpet (Chikkapete)
Locality
Bengaluru Urban district
Karnataka
Textile-trade market quarter of the historic pete; PIN 560053. Kempe Gowda I laid out Doddapete (Avenue Road) and Chikkapete as the two original main streets, and 'Streets of Doddapete, Chikkapete, Nagartha-pete were for marketing of general merchandise'. Rice (1897) notes the wealth of its merchants: 'Substantially built and imposing edifices may be seen in Chikka-pete and other parts, belonging to wealthy natives.' Chickpet remains Bengaluru's wholesale cloth market. No source consulted names a specific Arya Vysya or Vasavi institution inside Chickpet itself, but the Arya Vysya Mandali Chambers stand on Avenue Road at the Mamulpete/Chikkapete junction (see the Avenue Road record).
