'''Shahpura''' (also known as '''Shahpur''') is a village in [[Jangaon district]], [[Telangana]], India. A [[hill-fort]] exists here which was occupied by the highwayman and bandit [[Papadu]] between around 1701 and 1710, during the reign of the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal emperor]] [[Aurangzeb]]. The fort endured a series of four sieges before Papadu was captured and executed.<ref>{{cite book |title=A Social History of the Deccan, 1300–1761: Eight Indian Lives |series=New Cambridge History of India |first=Richard M. |last=Eaton |location=Cambridge |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2005 |pages=155, 161 |isbn=978-0-521-25484-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cGd2huLXEVYC |accessdate=2012-01-01}}</ref> A number of [[Sufism|Sufi]] mystics were laid to rest in Shahpura between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries.<ref name="Suvorova">{{cite book|last=Suvorova|first=Anna|title=Muslim Saints of South Asia: The Eleventh to Fifteenth Centuries|date=22 July 2004|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QK0aLjQtX2cC&pg=PA1|accessdate=3 January 2012|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-1-134-37006-1|page=1}}</ref>
