Jogulamba Gadwal district, named after the powerful deity Jogulamba and the historic fort of Gadwal, serves as the southern gateway of Telangana. Situated at the confluence of the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers (Veni-Sangamam), it has historically been known as Antarvedi (the land between rivers). In ancient administrative records, the region was a core part of the Ayije-300 (also recorded as Aize or Ayaja) division. Historically, it evolved from the territories of Kandur-Nadu and Puduru-thala into the sovereign Gadwal Samsthanam, a center of art and literature often called the "Vidvadgadvala." Carved out from the Mahabubnagar district on October 11, 2016, its headquarters is located at Gadwal, sharing borders with Narayanpet and Wanaparthy districts, as well as the states of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. 1.
