Sadali is a hobli (group of villages) headquarters in Chikballapur district, Karnataka, India.
It is equidistant from five taluk headquarters: Shidlaghatta, Chintamani, Bagepalli, Gudibanda and Chikballapur.
[2] It was one of the provinces under Vijayanagara Empire called the Sadali Kingdom, which seems to have included Chikkaballapur and the adjoining area; this was in Naganna Odeyar's charge under Bukka in 1371 AD.
To prevent its falling into the hands of Nawab of Cuddapah, they privately disposed of it about 1759 AD to Dodda Baire Gauda of Chikballapur and later it was seized by Hyder Ali, father of Tippu Sultan in 1762 AD.
This dynasty was responsible for development of Chikballapur, Doddaballapur, Sidlagatta and Sadali.
