Davanagere district

Davanagere is an administrative district in central Karnataka that covers plains and hills as part of the Deccan Plateau region. It is governed from a main city and divided into smaller administrative units serving hundreds of villages.

The district was established in 1997 when it separated from a neighboring administrative area and incorporated additional territories from other regions. This reorganization shaped the modern structure we see today.

The region is shaped by communities who speak Kannada as their primary language, with Urdu also widely heard in daily life. Hindu and Muslim traditions coexist and influence the local customs and celebrations throughout the area.

The district encompasses multiple administrative divisions and is organized from a main city that serves as the hub for governance and travel. Visitors should rely on local guidance and personal connections when navigating the villages and rural areas.

The region benefits from favorable conditions for wind energy production due to its geographic position and weather patterns. These natural resources have shaped the area's economic development and energy initiatives.
