Places to visit

• Adoni fort : Adonia municipality, mandal headquarters, and commercial town in Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool district. The now-ruined Adoni fort was an important centre of authority in Islamic times and is frequently mentioned in 18th-century battles. These royal fort ruins date back to the medieval kingdom of Vijayanagar, which flourished during the 14th and 16th centuries. Here are several Persian and Arabic inscriptions that provide light on various historical topics. The Jamma Masjid is a beautiful specimen of Muslim architecture housed within the fort. MaduQadiri, an Adil Shahi governor, constructed it around 1680 AD.
• Ranmandala Hill : Ranmandala Hill, which houses the Lord Hanuman Temple, is the city's most well-known landmark. The nearby Ramjala Lake is important in Hindu mythology, and it is said that the lake was produced by an arrow thrown into the ground by Rama in order to supply water for the goddess Sita during AranyaVassa. The Tungabhadra River, a direct tributary of the lake, provides drinking water for the town and also acts as a tourist attraction with its wonderful water birds. With a rich cultural heritage, the city's physical landscape exhibits distinct Hindu influences spanning millennia.
• Shahi Jamia Masjid : India's Shahi Jamia Masjid is located in Adoni. A remnant of architectural and cultural history is the mosque. This historic place is open to visitors of all ages and religions, and photography is permitted. It is located in the center of town, close to the market, which is a hub of activity in Adoni. This masjid is thought to have been constructed by Siddi Masood Khan, who served as the Governor of Adoni under the rule of Bijapur Sultan. Masood Khan paid 77,000 dinars for the land from Mohammed ShahnazNamia, and he spent a total of 2,000,000 dinars to finish the masjid's construction. Iranian engineers led by Malli Sandal served as the mosque's architects. Ayats from the Holy Quran and information about the masjid are written in Arabic and Persian on 15 black slabs that can be located on the front side of the building. Additionally, there are hadiths. The mosque's left and right minarets have chains that add to its splendor. The unique feature of this mosque is that it is located in the same area as the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
