The KR Market is a local market that sells all sorts of stuff, but it's primarily known for being THE flower market in Bengaluru. Although there are still shops selling the usual kitchenware, groceries, chai shops etc. However, the flower sellers dominate the KR Market.The new market was designed by Sri Lakshminarasappa on the model of Sir Stuart Hogg Market of Calcutta with certain modifications and was opened on October 11, 1921. On 7th September 1927, the Maharaja of Mysore, Sri Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV came in a procession seated on an elephant at a specially erected pavilion near the K.R.Market where the members of the Bangalore City Municipal Council paid their respects to him. The occasion was the silver jubilee celebration of his rule over Mysore State. A park near the market was named as Silver Jubilee Park and also the road adjoining it. Later the Maharaja remounted the elephant and the procession came to a close at the K.R.Circle. A Maharaja attending a function near the K.R.Market shows how well the place was during 1927 in contrast to the pitiable state of affairs in the present times. Prior to 1920, the existing K.R.Market was a collection of low- roofed; narrow zinc-sheet sheds, exposed to sun and rain. In January 1907, the Diwan and other important officials visited the market and suggested that the Municipality should build a new market and that the market should be shifted to a new place as the present location was dirty and unhealthy. Later the Members of the Bangalore City Municipality visited the market and also the site where the new one was proposed to be built, near Kalasipalyam. In view of the unsuitability of the new site, which was made up of soil formed by filling up the old fort trench and considering the convenience of the public in general, municipal councilors unanimously decided to improve the existing market instead of building the new one. The members of the Bangalore City Improvement Committee at their meeting on 7-1-1914 took a decision to acquire three low -lying, unsanitary streets of Siddicutta (name of a locality) near the market and include them in the proposed enlarged and improved market. They also decided to acquire a number of private shops adjoining the market. The new market was designed by Sri Lakshminarasappa on the model of Sir Stuart Hogg Market of Calcutta with certain modifications and was opened on October 11, 1921. The inaugural function was attended by B K Garudachar the then President of the Bangalore City Municipality and by other Municipal Councillors. An official called Market Sergeant maintained order within the Market and supervised the articles brought for sale. Previously under' the Bangalore Municipal Council market shows were held regularly where fruits and vegetables were exhibited. The Maharaja, Diwan or other dignitaries used to inaugurate the show in the morning and distribute prizes and medals to successful' participants in the evening. A special feature of the market show held during 1930-31 was the organisation of "Charka Competition" where women participated. Similarly in the market show held on December 22 and 23, 1946, wrestling matches, orchestra and nadaswaram programmes were organised.

K. R. Market (Krishna Rajendra Market), also known as City Market, is the largest wholesale market dealing with commodities in Bangalore, India. It is named after Krishnarajendra Wodeyar, a former ruler of the princely state of Mysore. The market is located in the Kalasipalyam area, adjacent to the Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, on Mysore Road at its junction with Krishnarajendra Road. It is the first locality in the whole of Asia to get electricity and considered to be one of the biggest flower markets in Asia.

It is one of the biggest and oldest market in Bangalore. You will get everything here.From flower market to Electronics market. There are many streets here. Each street is famous for each iteams. Every thing is very cheap here. Cheapest place in Bangalore. But we should be very careful, when you deal with the people in the market. They are very rough. If you don't know kannada,it is very difficult in market. It is very dirty place too. Better not to come in your vehicle. You park it somewhere outside. Take an auto and go around.

KR market is one place to buy everything. But inside of the building is not at all maintained in a good way. But there are many shops inside and out. There's a separate flower market in the basement of this building. Outside there are fruits and vegetable market, first floor decoration and kitchen market and so on. Cheap prices comparatively. If you love visiting markets then it's a must place.

The best place to shop for anything and everything. You name it, and KM Market has got it. The prices, quantity, and quality are excellent compared to local stores where whole sale dealers sell it for cheaper prices. This is my go-to place for shopping anytime.
