Bapatla district

Bapatla district is an administrative region in Andhra Pradesh that stretches along the Bay of Bengal coast. It comprises 25 mandals with agricultural areas, rural villages, and a mix of coastal and inland terrain.

The district was established in 2022 when Andhra Pradesh restructured its administrative boundaries. It was created from portions of the neighboring Prakasam and Guntur districts.

The Bhavanarayana Swamy Temple serves as a focal point for Hindu worship, with regular processions and ceremonies that reflect the spiritual identity of the region. These observances shape daily life and bring communities together during major festivals.

The district is administered from its headquarters in Bapatla city, which connects to all 25 mandals through road networks and public transportation. Visitors will find a mix of urban centers and rural areas, with access to different locations varying by transport availability and season.

South India's first agricultural college was established here in 1945 and developed important rice varieties including BPT-5204 and Samba Masuri. This institution remains a significant center for agricultural research and training in the region.
