Hingoli district

Hingoli district is an administrative region in northern Marathwada that borders four neighboring districts in Maharashtra state. The area is divided into two subdivisions and five talukas, with Hingoli city serving as the administrative seat and main transportation hub.

The British East India Company established the district in the mid-1800s as an administrative center for the South Berar region. After 1857, control shifted to the Nizam, which determined the territory's political direction for decades to come.

The Aundha Nagnath Temple draws pilgrims who come to worship at one of Hinduism's most sacred shrine locations in the region. Visitors experience the spiritual energy and devotional practices that have shaped the local religious life for centuries.

The best visiting period is during cooler months when weather conditions are more comfortable. A vehicle is helpful for getting around, as settlements are spread out and public transportation options are limited.

The region was recognized as a priority district under a national development program aimed at advancing its economic growth. This program focuses on improving infrastructure and local services in areas designated for accelerated development.
