Bagalkot district, Administrative district in Karnataka, India
The district spans across 6,593 square kilometers of the North Karnataka Plateau, containing ten administrative subdivisions called taluks at 524 meters elevation.
The region gained district status in 1997 when it separated from Vijayapura, though its history extends to the 6th century as a center of Chalukyan Empire.
Three rivers flow through the district - Krishna, Ghataprabha, and Malaprabha - meeting at Kudalasangama, a significant pilgrimage location for local communities.
Agriculture employs 65 percent of the working population, with farmers cultivating cotton, jowar, groundnut, and tobacco in the nutrient-rich black soil.
Stone inscriptions reveal the district's ancient name was Bagadige, reportedly given by Ravana to his musicians according to local mythology.
