Gadwal, Administrative town in Mahabubnagar district, India

Located at 324 meters elevation, Gadwal extends along the southern banks of the Krishna River, 188 kilometers from Hyderabad.

The Gadwal Fort, constructed by Sri Somashekar Ananda Bhopal Reddy, served as the capital of Gadwal Samsthanam under the Nizam of Hyderabad.

The Sri Chennakesava Swamy temple within the fort complex represents religious traditions that continue to shape local spiritual practices.

The railway junction handles over 40 trains daily, while the Telangana State Road Transport Corporation provides extensive bus connections to regional destinations.

Local artisans craft Gadwal Sarees with cotton bodies and silk pallus, creating garments so light they fit inside a matchbox.
