The doab between the Krishna and the Tungabhadra, a dry country of black soil and granite hills fought over by every Deccan power.
The Raichur article (read) puts the fort in 1284 (Rudra, i.e. Rudrama Devi's time) with its Persian bastion inscription of 1294: neither exists on 1 January 1200. Who holds the doab town in 1200 is not recorded in any source we read; the Kalyani Chalukya successors are gone and the Yadavas, Hoysalas and Kakatiyas claim it.
