Kalyana-Karnataka, formerly Hyderabad–Karnataka, is a region of the Indian state of Karnataka, which was part of Kingdom of Hyderabad ruled by the Nizams and the Madras presidency of British India. The region comprises Bidar, Yadgir, Raichur, Koppal and Kalaburagi of Hyderabad state and, Bellary and Vijayanagara of the Madras province that are now present in the state of Karnataka. The Northeast-Karnataka region is the second largest arid region in India.[1][2][3][4][5] The largest city of the region is Kalaburagi.
In 1948, when the Hyderabad State was officially merged into India, some portions of it were incorporated into the state of Karnataka.[6]
In 2019, the Hyderabad-Karnataka region was officially renamed as Kalyana-Karnataka.[7][8]
