'''Kodumur or Kodumuru''' is a village in the [[Kodumur mandal]] in the [[Kurnool district]] in the state of [[Andhra Pradesh]] in [[India]].

==History==
In 1953, 11 [[Telugu language|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]].<ref>{{cite web| url = https://andhrapradesh.pscnotes.com/appsc-group-1-mains/paper-i/andhra-pradesh-history/formation-of-andhra-pradesh/ | title= Formation Of Andhra Pradesh | work= 4 June 2017|publisher= Andhra Pradesh PCS Exam Notes| access-date = 26 November 2023}}</ref>

In 2022, the larger Kurnool district was split into Kurnool and [[Nandyal district|Nandyal]] districts.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2022/jan/26/cabinet-approves-creation-of-13-new-districts-2411375.html | title= Cabinet approves creation of 13 new districts| work= 26 January 2022|publisher= The New Indian Express | access-date = 26 November 2023}}</ref>

==Geography==
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 River|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.

==Economy==
Agriculture is the main source of income for the people of Kodumur, with [[Cotton]], [[Castor oil seed|Castor oil seeds]], [[Pigeon pea|Red gram]] and vegetables as the main crops. 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 [[Tehsil|mandal]] (administrative division) is arid. Of note, the Kondala Rayudu Temple of Kodumur has a scorpion festival.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiagrowing.com/Andhra_Pradesh/Kurnool/Kodumur |title=Kodumur Population On India Growing}}</ref>
