It is surrounded by Vijaynagar on the north, Bangalore University and Chandra Layout on the east, Magadi road on the north and Sir.M.V.Layout on the west, and Kengeri to the south. Nagarabhavi is broadly divided into two areas, called Nagarabhavi 1st stage and Nagarabhavi 2nd stage.
Traditionally known as the home of Bangalore University, the area also has the National Law School of India University, Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology and Dr. BR Ambedkar School of Economics.

History
[edit]In Kannada, the language of a majority of people in the state, Nagarabhavi means "a well of snakes".[2] It is not conclusively known, however, why it is called so. One school of thought is that the name is due to the high number of snakes present in the area. Also, some believe that it is called a "well" because of the surrounding hillocks that are no longer present due to urbanization.[2] Nagarbhavi got its prime importance due to the establishment of Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) in 1973.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
