Raichur district, Administrative district in Karnataka, India
Raichur district is an administrative region in Karnataka situated between the Krishna River to the north and the Tungabhadra River to the south. These two rivers create a fertile area that supports agriculture and settlement.
Three rock edicts of Emperor Ashoka from the third century BC are found in the district, showing that this area was part of the ancient Mauryan Empire. These inscriptions are significant evidence of an early historical period.
The region displays influences from multiple kingdoms in its temples and monuments that remain visible today. These structures tell the story of rulers who held power across many centuries.
The district is divided into seven administrative zones, with Raichur serving as the main city and administrative center. These different areas are well connected, making travel through the region straightforward.
The district is home to the Hatti Gold Mines, one of India's few active gold mining sites. At the same time, it remains the leading rice-growing center of Karnataka, combining mineral extraction with agricultural production.
