Rajanna Sircilla district

Rajanna Sircilla is an administrative district in Telangana spanning around 2,030 square kilometers (784 square miles), mixing farmland, factories, and housing areas. The territory divides into two revenue divisions with 13 mandals that serve a population of roughly 550,000.

This district was created in 2016 when the state divided the Karimnagar district to improve governance and services. The formation reflected efforts to bring administration closer to local communities across Telangana.

Textile weaving shapes daily life throughout the region, with artisans working on detailed patterns using traditional methods passed down through families. This craft remains central to how people here define themselves and maintain their community bonds.

The best time to visit is between October and February when the weather is mild and local markets are most active. Starting from either Sircilla or Vemulawada, the two main towns, helps you reach different parts of the district easily.

The weaving sector here blends handcraft and modern power looms, with traditional weavers working alongside industrial operations producing textiles daily. Visitors often miss how this combination of old skills and new technology shapes the entire local economy.
