Overview
In Telangana, a plot's survey number lives in the Pahani / Adangal (ROR 1-B) and is mapped through the state's Bhu Bharati portal — the platform that replaced Dharani in 2025. Zoom to your land on the map above and its survey-number boundary appears; you don't need to know the number to start.
Below: what the survey number is actually called in Telangana, which official portal to use for what, and how to find any plot's number by its location.
One plot, many names — which one is the ‘survey number’?
1. Survey Number (సర్వే నంబర్):
The unique ID for a parcel in the revenue records. Sub-divisions are written like 112/1, 112/2 when land is split.
2. Pahani / Adangal (పహాణీ · అడంగల్):
Telangana's annual Record of Rights — it lists the survey number, extent, pattadar (owner) and crop. This is where your survey number is recorded.
3. ROR 1-B:
The ownership section of the record, tied to the survey number and shown alongside the Pahani.
4. Pattadar Passbook (పట్టాదారు పాస్బుక్):
The title passbook issued to the owner — proof of ownership for a given survey number.
5. Sethwar / FMB / Tippan:
The cadastral field-measurement sketch showing the parcel's boundary shape — the map, not the text record.
6. Dharani = Bhu Bharati:
The government portal, not a document. Renamed from Dharani to Bhu Bharati in 2025 — the same land data underneath.
Which record, which portal — for what

Bhu Bharati replaced the Dharani portal on 14 April 2025 under Telangana's new Record of Rights Act. Old Dharani links now redirect, and your survey-number data carried over unchanged.
The one thing the government portal can't do
Bhu Bharati asks for the survey number, owner name or passbook before it will show you anything. 1acre works the other way round: start from the land. Search a village or drop a pin on the plot, and the survey-number boundary appears on the map. Then take that number to the official portal for the certified record. Map-first is the search a land buyer actually needs — and no state portal offers it.
