Mudgal is a Municipal town in Lingsugur taluk, Raichur district in the Indian state of Karnataka.
The main attractions here are the remnants of the Mudgal fort and an ancient Roman Catholic church built by the Jesuits before 1557.
Mudgal or Mudugal has a history dating back to the Seuna Yadavas of Devagiri, several inscriptions of which have been discovered in and around the town.
[2] In the construction of the fort at Mudgal, advantage was taken of a hillock on the top of which were built houses of the royalty and a wall with bastions.
The courses of masonry at several places are of Hindu style, but the arch-shaped parapet is of Muslim design.
In front of the Fateh Darwaza, which faces north, there is a very massive bastion, with a curtain on each side, thus making a barbican for the defence of the fort.
The barbican has a narrow court with entrances towards the west and north-east, the gates of which are built in the pillar-and-lintel style.
Milk and dairy products are produced, consumed and transported in large quantities due to the common practice of rearing sheep, cattle and buffaloes.
The mutton of Mudgal is highly reverered due to its succulent taste owing to fresh feed available to livestock.
Peanuts and sunflowers are also cultivated in large quantities to produce cooking oil, chutney and achaars.
Chilli pepper cultivation is also on a large scale with local varieties of cayenne and paprika.
Mudgal is well connected by road to Bangalore, Hubli, Hyderabad, Pune, Panaji, Bagalkot and other major cities.
Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) runs a bus service to other cities and villages.
