Rajajinagar is a residential locality in the west of Bangalore. It is bordered by Basaveshwaranagar, Malleshwaram, and Rajajinagar industrial suburb. Rajajinagar is divided into two stages, the first stage to the west of the second. Rajajinagar 1st stage is divided into 6 blocks from north to south. The 4th block is further divided into the 4th M block and the 4th N block. The other names of some of the areas constituting Rajajinagar are Subramanyanagar, Kethmaranahalli, Nagapura, Mariyappanapalya; etc. The newly constructed four-lane grade separator makes it easy for vehicular traffic to move out of Rajajinagar towards Okalipuram.

The area to west of the Chord Road was earlier considered to be a part of Rajajinagar, but most maps today show that area as a part of Basaveshwaranagar. Chord road is among the longest roads in Bangalore connecting Yeshwanthpur through Mahalakshmi layout, Rajajinagar, Vijaynagar, R. P. C. layout, Attiguppe to Mysore road, about 8 kilometres in length.
