Kodumur or Kodumuru is a village in the Kodumur mandal in the Kurnool district in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India.
History[edit]
In 1953, 11 Telugu speaking districts of Madras State became Andhra State with Kurnool as its capital. In 1956, Andhra State and Telangana merged together to form Andhra Pradesh. As per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, 10 districts were carved out of Andhra Pradesh to form Telangana.[2]
In 2022, the larger Kurnool district was split into Kurnool and Nandyal districts.[3]
Geography[edit]
Kodumuru has an average elevation of 342 meters above sea level. The River Hundri passes nearby Kodumur, almost touching every village in the mandal. At Laddagiri Village, the River Hundri meets the Pala Hundri and then the Tungabhadra at Roja near Kurnool. Most of the mandal is covered by inorganic clay ("black cotton") soil, but iron and aluminum-enriched red soil is present in the village of Yerradoddi, and in parts of the Pulakurthi, Pyalakurthi and Laddagiri villages. The entire mandal comes under the Tungabhadra water basin, which is part of the Krishna basin. This mandal receives among the lowest rainfall in the state.

Tungabhadra Project Low Level Canal, the Handri-Neeva Sujala Sravanthi project (HNSS) Main Canal, and the Gajuladinne Project (GDP) Canal (renamed the Sanjeevaiah Sagar), are the main irrigation sources. A major portion of the area of this mandal (administrative division) is arid. Of note, the Kondala Rayudu Temple of Kodumur has a scorpion festival.[4]
