Rayachoti mandal, Administrative division in YSR district, India.
Rayachoti mandal is an administrative division in southwestern Andhra Pradesh that spreads across various villages and settlements. The region displays rural characteristics with scattered population centers and agricultural land dominating the landscape.
The area experienced periods of Mysore rule in earlier centuries and underwent various administrative reorganizations. In 2022, it became part of the newly created Annamayya district following Andhra Pradesh's administrative restructuring.
The region contains numerous megalithic sites and stone circles, particularly in Devandlapalli, reflecting the ancient settlements of early inhabitants.
The area is predominantly rural with limited urban services, so visitors should plan accordingly for basic amenities. Travel between settlements takes time due to the dispersed nature of the region and its network of smaller villages.
The Mandavya river flows through the region and supplies water for cultivation of crops like peanuts, sunflowers, and cotton. This river presence shapes the daily rhythm of local farming and the region's economic foundation.
