Sand sheets and mounds occur along the eastern bank of Hagari River in Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh, India. These wind-blown sands are considered to be deposited by a flood about 1–2 centuries ago. Based on the description in the British era District Gazetteer, we infer that the sands were most likely deposited by a flash flood in May 1851.
