high confidence
Official district tourism page: 'Dharmavaram is also known for its cotton and silk weaving industry. Dharmavaram silk sarees are well known all over the country... There are more than a thousand shops in the town, which sell silk sarees. Nearly 30 silk cooperative societies help those engaged in the trade. This silk wear is exported to Germany, France and other countries abroad. Only in Dharmavaram exists a Silk Exchange.' Recorded as documented market/trade history; the district sources do not attribute the trade to any particular community, and no community attribution is asserted here.

1905 Madras District Gazetteer, p. 150: 'The chief industry of the town is the weaving of cotton and silk cloths... The place is also known for its gingelly oil. It is not a great trading centre, its chief exports include the horse-gram... paddy... and gingelly oil.' p. 64 on silk: 'The best in the district are manufactured in Dharmavaram... These are worth as much as Rs. 50 apiece.' Imperial Gazetteer of India, Madras Vol. I (1908), p. 489: 'there is a market of some importance.' The gazetteer names the weaving castes as Devangas, Togatas and Sales with some Musalmans (p. 63) - NOT Komatis - so no Arya Vysya attribution is made.
