Mandya () is a city in the state of Karnataka. It is the headquarters of Mandya district. It is also called Sugar City (Kannada: Sakkare Nagara) because sugarcane is a major crop grown here, and sugar factories contribute to the major economic output. The district offices are located here. The city has been divided into 35 wards of the Mandya City Municipal Council.
==History== Mandya celebrated its 75th year anniversary (Amrutha Mahothsava) in 2015. The KRS dam was built by Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV and M. Visvesvaraya in Mandya, opening in 1932. Mandya is home to a number of historically important sites. In 2016, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) excavated another statue of Bahubali, a much revered figure among Jains. He was the son of Adinath, the first tirthankara of Jainism, and the younger brother of Bharata Chakravartin, identified with the 3rd – 9th centuries in Arthipura, Mandya district. The excavation is expected to be completed by 2018. The Archaeological Survey of India has also excavated an 8th-century statue of Bahubali in Arthipura, Maddur, Mandya, Karnataka, that is wide and tall.
