Pandavapura, Administrative town in Mandya district, Karnataka, India
Located at coordinates 12.5°N 76.67°E, Pandavapura stretches across 528 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 708 meters above sea level.
The area was previously called French Rocks, as French military forces supporting Tippu Sultan against British troops established camping grounds in this location.
The name Pandavapura stems from ancient Indian mythology, referring to the Pandava brothers who, according to Puranas, spent time in this region during their exile.
The town contains 168 villages under its jurisdiction and maintains essential services through multiple gram panchayats that oversee local governance and development.
The surrounding landscape features Kunti Betta, a prominent hill named after the Pandavas mother, while another hill, Kauravara Betta, was completely mined for stones.
