Gulbarga is a town in the Indian state of Karnataka. It is the administrative headquarters of Gulbarga District, and of Gulbarga Division.Gulbargas earlier name was Kalburgi and rose into prominence when it was made the capital by the Bahmani rulers. It served as the administrative headquarters of the kingdom from 1347 to 1428. The city was annexed by Aurangzeb in the 17th century. The erstwhile rulers of Hyderabad wrested control of the town in the 18th century.
Agriculture is the main source of income here. Though the land here is very fertile, much of the farming is dependent on rains (non-irrigated). However, this is changing rapidly with the construction of the Upper Krishna Project.
