Kurnool district

The district extends along the eastern coast of India, featuring a combination of mountains, valleys, beaches, and agricultural plains near the Bay of Bengal.

The area developed from an ancient port city into a British colonial stronghold in 1804, forming part of the Madras Presidency before joining Andhra Pradesh.

The district maintains traditional festivals throughout the year, with local communities celebrating Makar Sankranti, Ugadi, and regional harvest ceremonies with music and dance.

The region connects to major cities through the Visakhapatnam International Airport, railways, and an extensive network of national highways crossing the district.

The district contains India's oldest shipyard and natural harbor on the east coast, supporting major naval operations and international maritime trade.
