Bidar is a city and taluka in Karnataka state, India. It is the administrative seat of Bidar District.
Bidar was the capital of the Bahmani Sultanate from 1425 until the sultanate's breakup after 1518. It then became the center of one of the five independent sultanates, known as the Deccan sultanates, that were the successor states to the Bahmani kingdom. The Bidar Sultanate was absorbed by the Bijapur Sultanate to the west in 1619, which was in turn conquered by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1686. Bidar was part of the Nizam of Hyderabad's dominions from 1724 to 1948, when Hyderabad was annexed to India to become Hyderabad state. In 1956, part of Mysore state, later renamed Karnataka. Bidar city is known for its unique Bidri handicraft products. Manjra is one of the main rivers supplying drinking water for Bidar and Hyderabad cities.
