Chittaguppa is a taluka and tehsil in Bidar district of Karnataka. Up until 2017, the city was under the administration of Humnabad. Chitguppa is divided into 23 wards.[1] It is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Humnabad and 53 kilometres (33 mi) from Bidar.[2] The city is known for having the largest marketplace in the Bidar district and its corn production. An airport for Bidar and Kalaburagi was proposed in Chitgoppa, but the plan was cancelled due to high land acquisition costs and insufficient connectivity via road and rail.

History[edit]

The Chitgoppa area, formerly known as the Chitgoppa Empire, was formerly under the control of the Nizams who established Sadar Diwani Adalat and Moffusil as their courts.[3] Patwardhan Saheb was the first President of the Chitguppa municipality and Kishan Rao Saheb was the President of the Municipality for three consecutive terms until he voluntarily stepped down.[4]

The town has two Muslim dargahs (dedicated to Salar Makdum and Karimullah) where the annual Urs (prayer meetings) are held. Every year in August a fair is held for the Hindu god Baloba. A marble statue of a Hindu saint Mahadevappe Devarshi has been installed in a monastery named after him in the town.[citation needed]
