Gulbarga is located in the northern part of Karnataka state.

The small town of Gulbarga is famous for its association with the erstwhile medieval kingdom of Bahamani (1347-1526). It was the capital of the Bahamani rulers from 1347 to 1428. A number of monuments dating from 13th to the 15th century can be seen here. These monuments reflect the architectural skills of the Bahamani rulers.

Gulbarga (now Kalburgi ) houses Vidhana Soudha (Mini) which has all the major Regional and District Development Government Offices. This takes care of addressing the governing issues pertinent to Gulbarga/Bidar/Raichur/Bellary Districts.
