The whole district lies in the valley of the Vedavati River, with the Tungabhadra river flowing in the Northwest. Chitradurga has its name embedded in the Indian Epic, Mahabaratha. As per the epic, a man-eating giant named Hidimbasura lived in the Chitradurga hills. When Pandavas were exiled, Bhima and the giant had a war and he killed Hidimbasura.
