Kumbalgodu (also spelled as Kumbalagodu) is a town located on the outskirts of the Indian city of Bengaluru.

The name Kumbalgodu is derived from two Kannada words:

Kumbala / Kumbla (ಕುಂಭಳ / ಕುಂಬ್ಲ) – refers to the ash gourd (a type of pumpkin) or in some usages a small pond/tank.

Godu (ಗೋಡು) – means settlement, hamlet, or boundary.

Put together, Kumbalgodu could mean “the settlement where ash gourds grew abundantly” or “a hamlet near the pond/tank”.

It is situated along the Mysore Road between Kengeri and Bidadi, and, according to the 2011 census, has a population of over 10,000.[1]

The Bengaluru Swaminarayan Gurukul International School is located in Kumbalgodu.[2]
