Nagarālu.—The Nagarālu are a cultivating caste in Vizagapatam, concerning whom it is recorded2 that “Nagarālu means the dwellers in a nagaram or city, and apparently this caste was originally a section of the Kāpus, which took to town life, and separated itself off from the parent stock. They say their original occupation was medicine, and a number of them are still physicians and druggists, though the greater part are agriculturists.”
