Chikkadpally is a locality in the city of Hyderabad, in the state of Telangana, India.
Chikkadpally is surrounded by Musheerabad, Ashok Nagar, Narayanguda and Bagh Lingampally.
According to locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from chikkad, meaning mud, and -pally (originally palle, పల్లె in Telugu) meaning place or hamlet. Since Chikkadpally is in a low-lying area, it is usually plagued by chikkad due to inflow of drain water.[1] According to some other locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from cheekatipally (place/hamlet of shadows).
