Historically, Koppal was known as Jaina Kashi, meaning the "Kashi" or most sacred place for Jains.[3] It was so named because there were more than 700 Basadis (also called Bastis), Jain meditation halls or Prarthana Mandirs.[citation needed] Koppal district was carved out of Raichur district, located in the northern part of Karnataka state, on 1 April 1998.[4]
