Mahbubnagar district , with its capital city Golkonda located near Hyderabad. In 1518 it came under control of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, which reigned until 1687. The region was then a part of Hyderabad State, ruled by the Asaf Jahi dynasty, from 1724 to 1948. Mahbubnagar was most likely an historically Buddhist area, as many historic temples were destroyed by the Asaf Jahi rulers. There are no Buddhist temples remaining, however.[citation needed] Mahbubnagar district became independent along with Hyderabad and joined the democratic state of India on 18 September 1948.
