Hindupur mandal is an administrative subdivision in Sri Sathya Sai district comprising 15 settlements spread across the region. The town of Hindupur serves as the administrative center with 14 villages forming the rest of the subdivision.
Until April 2022, this subdivision was part of Anantapur district before being transferred to the newly formed Sri Sathya Sai district. This administrative reorganization represented a significant change in how the region was governed.
Telugu and Urdu are the main languages spoken daily by residents across the villages and town, shaping how people communicate in markets and homes. This linguistic diversity reflects the mixed communities that have long inhabited the region.
The subdivision borders several nearby mandals including Somandepalle, Chilamathur, Lepakshi, and Parigi, making travel and trade with neighboring areas straightforward. Connections to surrounding administrative regions help visitors and locals move easily between settlements.
The subdivision sits along the border with Karnataka state, marking a boundary between two Indian states within this administrative area. This border location has historically influenced how the region connects with and relates to neighboring territories.
