Mandya district, Administrative district in Mysuru division, India

Mandya district covers 4,961 square kilometers between the Kaveri River and its tributaries Hemavathi, Shimsha, Lokapavani, and Veeravaishnavi in southern Karnataka.

The district emerged from the larger Mysore district on July 1, 1939, and remained part of Mysore State until the reorganization of Indian states in 1956.

The district population of 1,805,769 includes 91.92 percent Kannada speakers, with Hindu temples and agricultural traditions shaping the regional identity.

The district contains seven administrative subdivisions across two main zones, with National Highways NH-275, NH-948, and NH-150A connecting major population centers.

The Yoga Narasimha Temple in Melukote and Shivanasamudra Falls stand as natural landmarks within the fertile agricultural region of the Kaveri River basin.
