Hulimavu was previously known as Amarapura, which came under the administration of Saarakeya. Apparently Amarapura was derived from the word "Amra" or "Amru" which translates to Mango or "Sourness". Over years the name has evolved to its present name Hulimavu which in Kannada literally means "Sour mango". The then ruler of Saarakeya is believed to have built the Kodandarama Swami Temple in Hulimavu for the well being of its citizens. Around 1600AD the temple was renovated with the installation of idols of Sita, Lakshmana and Anjenaya Swami. Sri Kodandarama Swami Bramhostava is celebrated every year. The temple was renovated again in 2002.
