Lewis Rice, Director of Archaeological Researches in Mysore|year=1894}}</ref> is a Kannada-speaking village in [[Sidlaghatta]] Taluk, [[Chikkaballapur]] District. It comes under Nagamangala [[gram panchayat]] in [[Chikkaballapura district]].

==Geography==
Nadipinayakanahalli is located 27 km south-east of [[Chikballapur]], the district's headquarters, and 64 km from the state capital Bangalore. Surrounding cities and towns include [[Vijayapura]] to the west, [[Hoskote]] and [[Devanahalli]] to the south, and [[Sidlaghatta]] and [[Chintamani, Karnataka|Chintamani]] to the north.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gowda|first1=Rakshith|title=Nadipinayakanahalli|url=https://villageinfo.in/karnataka/chikkaballapura/sidlaghatta/nadipinayakanahalli.html|website=villageinfo|publisher=admin|accessdate=26 February 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Gowda|first1=Sonne|title=Allindiafacts|url=http://allindiafacts.com/places/karnataka/chikkaballapura/sidlaghatta/nadipinayakanahalli.html|website=allindiafacts.com|publisher=admin [at] allindiafacts.com|accessdate=26 February 2016}}</ref>
{{wide image|NP PANORAMA.jpg|1010px|align-cap=center|Nadipinayakanahalli Panorama}}

==Demographics==
The population of the village ranges from 1000 to 1200.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gowda|first1=Dileep|title=Census2011|url=http://www.census2011.co.in/data/village/624255-nadipinayakanahalli-karnataka.html|website=/www.census2011.co.in|publisher=/www.census2011.co.in|accessdate=26 February 2016}}</ref> Most of the village inhabitants are farmers and are lower middle class. The literacy rate is above 80% thanks to the successful implementation of schemes such as [[Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan]] and illiteracy eradication schemes. Most of the village children attend Navodaya school, a government-run school located in the village. Others attend schools in Jangamakote Cross, near [[Jangamakote]], and [[Vijayapura]].

==Occupation==
[[Sericulture]] and [[agriculture]] are the two major occupations, with 90% of the working population rearing silkworms. Men in this area are famously hard working.{{Citation needed|date=September 2019}} [[Eleusine coracana|Ragi]] is the main crop during the rainy season. Edible fruits and vegetables such as beetroot, carrot, cabbage, grapes, potato, mango, banana, cucumber, watermelon, cashew nuts, papaya, jack fruit, and jambu are also farmed. Mulberry plants are prolific in the village.

Water is scarce in Nadipinayakanahalli. Village inhabitants have invested in [[Bore well|bore wells]], and agricultural land has been converted to drought land because of the scarcity of water. [[Drip irrigation]] is commonly used to water plants.

The lake at the end of the village covers an area of approximately 150 to 250 acres. The lake partially fills during the rainy season when rain water is collected, but is drained within days. Desperate farmers cultivate the land during the rainy season to produce ragi. This practice is strictly prohibited by the state government.{{Citation needed|date=September 2019}}

==Domestic life==
[[Dairy farming]] ([[cattle]] rearing) is widely practiced and is a secondary source of income for average middle-class families. Two non-indigenous breeds, [[Holstein Frisian]] and [[Jersey]], are favored because of their high production of milk. [[List of Indian cattle breeds|Indigenous (desi) cows]] like [[hallikar]] are disappearing as farmers rely on tractors for the cultivation of the land. The number of [[hallikar]] cows in the village has fallen from several hundred to under ten, due to lack of food. Cows are worshiped yearly during the [[Sankranthi]] festival.

[[Dogs]] play a prominent role in Nadipinayakanahalli. Dog ownership is high because of the belief that dogs are loving, affectionate and protective. They often accompany villagers when gardening and during routine walks.

There are rare encounters between humans and snakes. Cobras sometimes enter houses looking for prey such as rats, frogs and hens. Snake bites are often reported but are successfully treated at nearby hospitals.

==Transportation==
Every family owns one or more vehicle, such as a bike, tractor or car. There is excellent road infrastructure. In addition to vehicle parking, cows, buffalo and goats are frequently tethered on the road frontage outside a home.

==Forest Area==
The village is surrounded by dry forest towards the east. [[Eucalyptus]], [[tamarind]], [[sandalwood]], [[teak]] and other trees are grown, as well as [[bamboo]]. Forest guards patrol the boundary regularly to prevent villagers from taking trees. Tree poles from eucalyptus are in demand as building material, leading to the possibility of illegal logging. There is a forest reserve where wild animals are abundant. Forestry activities contribute to ground water level depletion.{{Citation needed|date=September 2019}}

==Village sights==
There are several temples near the village, including temples to [[Hanuman]], [[Shakti|Gangamma]], and [[Muneeswarar]]. [[Kaivara]], the popular hill station is 10 km away via the forest road. There is a cave that was damaged by a landslide but is still visible. The Hanuman temple is also in poor condition.

==Culture==

==Environmental issues==
Depletion of ground water is a major challenge, with most bore wells having run dry. Rainfall is extremely low at 20 cm – 30 cm annually. A major reason for the water depletion is the absence of micro-irrigation systems and the intensive farming that occurred during the 1980s and 1990s. The state government has initiated the [[Gundia River|Gundia river]]/Yettinahole Project to bring new water to the district by diverting the west-flowing [[Nethravathi river]] to Chikkaballapura and [[Kolar]], but the project has been delayed due to ecological concerns and protests.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/365867/fate-gundia-hydel-power-project.html|title=Fate of Gundia hydel power project hangs in balance|last=Moudgal|first=Sandeep|date=2013-10-29|website=Deccan Herald|language=en|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2019-09-20}}</ref>

==Criticisms==
The village has a poor reputation for dirty caste politics and factionalism, and fights between villagers are frequent.{{facts|date=March 2019}}
