, which is also the district headquarters and its largest city. Mandrup, Kumbhari, Valasang, Musti and Boramani are the biggest villages in south Solapur. In the 16th century, in the village of Musti in the taluka, Shri Andenappa Maharaj became a great saint. He taught Parmarth to the society. During that time, he performed many miracles in the Musti village area and saved the people. Shri Andenappa maharaj was one of the great devotees of Shri Siddheshwar Maharaj, the village deity of Solapur, thats why there is a temple of Shri Siddheshwar Maharaj in Musti village and the Gadda Yatra of Shri Siddheshwar Maharaj is celebrated in Musti village in the same way as it is celebrated in Solapur.Due to the great work of Shri Andenappa Maharaj, he received divine offerings for the cure of jaundice from lord Shiva so even today, in the name of Shri Andenappa Maharaj, every Sunday treatment is given to the jaundice patient at the Shri Andenappa Maharaj Temple at Musti.
As of 2001, the tehsil population was 210,774
