Chadars and towels are famous not only in India but also at a global
level,[13][14] however there has been a significant decline in their
exports due to quality issues.[15] "Solapuri chadars" are the first
product in Maharashtra to get a Geographical Indication tag[16][17] It
has been a leading centre for cotton mills and power looms in
Maharashtra. Solapur had the world's second-largest and Asia's largest
spinning mill.[18] The National Research Centre on Pomegranate
(NRCP) of India is located in Solapur.[19][20][21] and pomegranate
farming is done on a large scale in Solapur District.[22] The Science
Centre in Kegaon (Solapur) is the third largest and prominent scientific

accessing need of the southern states of Karanataka and Andhra
Pradesh.[25][26][27][28] The first waste-to-energy electricity plant in

Etymology
Shri Siddheshwar Temple during the Makar Sankranti (Solapur)
The Solapur (anciently called sonnalage) District was ruled by various

dynasties such as Andhrabhratyas, Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Yadavas
and Bahamanis. 'Solapur' spelled in (Marathi: सोलापूर is believed to be
derived from the combination of two words: Sola / सोला in Marathi
means "sixteen" and "Pura / पुर" means "village".[39][40][41]
The present city of Solapur was considered to be spread over sixteen

villages viz. Aadilpur, Ahmedpur, Chapaldev, Fatehpur, Jamdarwadi,
Kalajapur, Khadarpur, Khandervkiwadi, Muhammadpur, Ranapur,
Sandalpur, Shaikpur, Solapur, Sonallagi, Sonapur and Vaidakwadi and
all these villages are now merged with Solapur Municipal Corporation.
[42]
The inscriptions of chief deity of Solapur Shivyogi Shri. Siddheshwar of

the time of the Kalachuri (Basavakalyan) suggest that the town was
called "Sonnalage" which came to be pronounced as "Sonnalagi".[43] A
Sanskrit inscription dated Shake 1238, after the downfall of the
Yadavas found at Kamati in Mohol shows that the town was known as
:
Sonalipur. One of the inscriptions found in Solapur fort shows that the
town was called Sonalpur.[44] It was the main commercial hub of the
Devagiri Yadavas and an important trading city. The town was known as
Sonnalagi even up to the times of the Yadavas of Devagiri.
It is evident from the inscriptions of Shivayogi Lord Siddheshwar of the

time of the Kalachuristis of Kalyani, that the town was called
'Sonnalage', an old Kannada name, which came to be pronounced as
'Sonnalagi'. The town was known as Sonnalagi even up to the times of
Yadavas. A Sanskrit inscription dated (Sanskrit:शके १२३८) Śakē 1238,
after the downfall of the Yadavas found at Kamati in Mohol shows that
the town was known as Sonalipur.[45]
History
One of the inscriptions found in Solapur fort shows that the town was
called Sonalpur while another inscription on the well in the fort shows
that it was known as Sandalpur. Subsequently, the British rulers
pronounced Solapur as Solapur and hence the name of the district.[46]
The present Solapur district was previously part of Ahmednagar, Pune
and Satara districts. In 1838 it became the Sub-district of Ahmednagar.
It included Barshi, Mohol, Madha, Karmala, Indi, Hippargi and
Muddebihal Sub-divisions. In 1864 this Sub-district was abolished. In
1871 this district was reformed joining the Sub-divisions viz. Solapur,
Barshi, Mohol, Madha and Karmala and two Subdivisions of Satara
district viz. Pandharpur, Sangola and in 1875 Malshiras Sub-division
was also attached.[47] After the State reorganisation in 1956 Solapur
was included in Bombay State and it became a full-fledged district of
Maharashtra State in 1960.[48]
The municipal corporation building was built by Rao Saheb Mallappa

:
Warad.[49] He was also one of the first to bring the farming tractor to
India. It was his wish that the building should be used for some public
purpose and thus the building was made the municipal council. The
building is also called Indra Bhawan which means 'Abode of Indra' (Lord
Indra).[50] Mallappa Warad was also one of the ten members of
'Chamber of Merchants' under Queen Victoria.
The Solapur Municipal Council was the first municipal council to hoist
the indian national flag on the Municipal Council building in 1930.
Taking the spirit of Dandi March from Mahatma Gandhi, the freedom
fighters of Solapur hoisted the National Flag on 6 April 1930 on the
Municipal Council building. This was the first and the unique incidence
of such kind throughout the country.
During the Indian independence movement, the people of Solapur

enjoyed full freedom on 9–11 May 1930.[51] However, this resulted in
the executions of Mallappa Dhanshetti, Abdul Rasool Qurban Hussein,
Jagannath Bhagwan Shinde and Shrikisan Laxminarayan Sarada, who
were hanged by the British Government on 12 January 1931, in the
prison at Pune. This resulted in the city becoming recognized as "The
City of Hutatmas" literally "The City of Martyrs".[52]
Tehsils of Solapur District. The north

and south tehsils forms the city
The Padmashalis are one of the largest community in Solapur. The rise
:
of Moghul rule and there after Britishers who came to India for doing
cloth business has lot of impact on weaving technology. The cloth
manufactured at Birmingham, England can sell at cheaper rate in India
and the qualities of their cloth were much better than our hand woven
cloths on Gunta Maggam (Pit-loom). Since there is no buyer for our
hand woven cloths, the domestic textile industry suffered losses. The
Britisher established East India Company at Calcutta and spread their
business across the India. They have also ruled our country till 1947.
The impact of cloth business compelled Padmashalis to move to
different places in India. Maharashtra is adjacent to Telangana, Andhra
Pradesh; most of them started moving in search of their livelihood.
Earlier days there were no transportation available; people started
walking from Telangana and stayed for days together wherever in the
en route to Mumbai. In this course some of them even settled in most
parts of Maharashtra like Nanded, Jalna, Aurangabad, and Nasik,
Ahmednagar, Solapur, Pune and even interior parts of the villages.
Their basic occupation was weaving; hence most of them have chosen
weaving job in cotton mills. Gradually the strength has increased and it
can be witnessed that about 400 to 500 Padmashalis could be seen in
each mill in Mumbai. Most of the people in Solapur are started there
Textile.
There is also one of the oldest Ganesh temples, Ajoba Ganpati temple,
which started celebrating the Ganesh festival in 1885.
