History of Orissa. from the Earliest Times to the British Period

1930

The districts of Khammamet and Nalgonda in the Nizam's dominions lie on the Ghats immediately to the west of the Krishna-Godavari Dodb and these are the northern-most districts of the Telugu country on the Deccan plateau. [...] Here the hills extend almost to the sea and the width of the coast land is extremely narrow with certain extensions as in the tract of the country between the Mahanadi Delta and the Chilka lake and again between the Southern bank of the Chilka and the basin of the Rushikulya river. [...] To the north-west of that part of the Godavari-Krishna Doab which lies at the foot of the Eastern Ghats are to be found the districts of Khammamet and Nalgonda of the Nizam's dominions. [...] The majority of the people are Hindus with the exception of the aboriginals many of whom also are now approximating to the standard of the lowest class of Hindus of this province. [...] The oldest of such charters is the Ganjam plate of the Gupta year 300 which records the donation of the village of Chhavalakkhya in the Krishuagiri district (vishaya) to a Brahmana of the BhäravAja Gofra by the feudatory chief Madhavaraja II.
