Kuravi
Village
Mahabubabad district
Telangana
Village and mandal headquarters in Mahabubabad district, about 11 km from Mahabubabad town and 70 km from Warangal by rail. A pilgrimage-and-market village: a Chalukya-founded, Kakatiya-renovated Veerabhadra kshetram, an Arya Vysya nityanna satra sangam and a standing Monday cattle fair. The mandal is listed in the district's top-ten settlements at about 9,000 (2011, rounded), so no population is recorded.
