Kadavergu is a major village located in the Cheriyal Mandal of the Siddipet district in the state of Telangana, India. Formerly part of the Warangal district, it was integrated into the newly formed Siddipet district during the 2016 administrative reorganization.
According to the 2011 Census of India, Kadavergu had a population of 5,627, consisting of 2,797 males and 2,830 females, living in approximately 1,306 households. The village maintains a balanced gender ratio with 1,012 females for every 1,000 males. The literacy rate at the time was 54.45%. Socially, the village includes a Scheduled Caste (SC) population of 1,281 (22.77%) and a Scheduled Tribe (ST) population of 39 (0.69%).
By 2026, the population is estimated to have grown to approximately 7,000 residents. The village is notable for its high level of civic engagement, as demonstrated by a 93% voter turnout during the 2026 Sarpanch elections, where nearly 2,900 voters participated.
History & Culture
The village has a recorded history dating back to at least 1200 AD. It features an ancient Shivalayam and a Koneru (temple tank) believed to have been constructed during the Kakatiya dynasty. Historical accounts suggest the region was a site of religious significance for devotees of Lord Shiva.
In early 2026, the temple, which had fallen into a state of disrepair (shithilavastha), was renovated through a community-led initiative. Local youth, including Koduri Sathish, Venu, and Doddi Kanakaiah, performed shrama danam (voluntary labor) to restore the premises. With the financial support and leadership of the Village Sarpanch, the temple was repainted and refurbished. This restoration culminated in a grand Shiva Kalyanam ceremony held during the 2026 Maha Shivaratri festival.
The village is also known for its proximity to significant spiritual centers, including the Komuravelli Mallikarjuna Swamy Temple.
Administration
Kadavergu is a Gram Panchayat within the Jangaon (Assembly constituency) and Bhongir (Lok Sabha constituency).
Following the local body elections held in December 2025, the current leadership includes:
- Sarpanch: Sri Thallapally Ramesh Guptha (Bangla)
- Upa Sarpanch: Sri Janga Surendar
The 2025 election recorded a high voter turnout of 93%, with Sri Thallapally Ramesh winning by a margin of 66 votes.
