Kadechur, formerly known as Karachur, is a village and gram panchayat in the Yadgir district of the Indian state of Karnataka.
History
In a 1935 report, Ghulam Yazdani mentioned that the village had about 200 houses, and the only way to reach it was via bullock-cart.
In 2017, a rail bogie factory was inaugurated on the outskirts of the village, located in the land between Kadechur and the nearby Badiyal village. There are plans to develop the area as a pharmaceutical manufacturing hub.
Landmarks
An old mosque dating back to the Adil Shahi period is located here. The mosque is a landmark of the village, on account of its size and architectural significance. The mosque is built out of stone, and situated on a plinth. Its facade is flanked by two slim minarets, and contains three arched entrances leading into the interior. Two platforms, upon which graves are situated, stand opposite the mosque.
Demographics
As of the 2011 census, the village has a population of 3953, in 631 households.
