Sagar

Sagar lies in the country between the Bhima and Krishna rivers, a region long known as Sagar Nadu. Its mosque, tombs and two large tanks recall the importance of the settlement in the Deccan. Nearby stands the shrine of the Sufi saint Sarmast, a focus of local devotion. The surrounding country later formed part of the territory of the Nayakas of Shorapur, whose forts and capital lay to the south.
