Kothaguda is an agency mandal in Mulugu Constituency of Mahabubabad district of the Indian state of Telangana.

Geography

Kothaguda has an average altitude of 225 meters. It is a historical place. Before Independence, the administrative unit of Narsampet was officially known as Pakhal Taluka because of its proximity to the area's lifeline - Pakhal lake, the largest lake in the region, built by the Kakatiya rulers. Over the years the village has grown into a town inhabited by around 30,000 people.

The growth of Kothaguda absorbed neighbouring hamlets such as Mylaram and Gandhinagar. The town's growth received a boost around ten years ago in the form of a public investment to develop it as a model town. This resulted in improvements in infrastructure, particularly roads, drains and water supply. The town became more livable following the arrival of fresh Pakhal water to the entire village. The village grown primarily via migration from nearby villages. The town's businesses are dominated by these migrants.
