Article History

Adoni, city, western Andhra Pradesh state, southern India. It lies in the Rayalaseema uplands region, about 50 miles (80 km) west-southwest of Kurnool and some 140 miles (225 km) southwest of Hyderabad, Telangana.

Adoni was once the stronghold for the rulers of the medieval Hindu kingdom of Vijayanagar. Muslims later controlled it until 1792, when a war between the British East India Company and Tippu Sultan resulted in its cession to the nizam of Hyderabad princely state. A magnificent mosque (Jāmiʿ Masjid) was built there in 1680. Adoni manufactures cotton cloth and carpets. It is situated on the rail line between Mumbai to the northwest and Bengaluru (Bangalore) to the south. The city is the site of TGLG Polytechnic (established 1982) and the Adoni Arts and Science College (1962). Pop. (2001) 157,305; (2011) 166,304.
