Hindupur weekly market and merchant street (largest commercial centre of the old district)
Market_trade ·
high confidence
1905 Madras District Gazetteer, p. 170, verbatim: Hindupur 'is best known as being the largest commercial centre in Anantapur. Many thousands of maunds of tanning barks, grain, tamarind, jaggery, and other articles are annually exported (mostly to other districts) from its railway-station... The collection and distribution of this merchandise is carried on by a number of substantial merchants and the weekly market is the largest in the district.' p. 171 on the merchant street: 'one broad street. Here, as in Madakasira, the house and shop verandahs are high, and are supported on substantial and often handsomely carved wooden pillars.' pp. 170-171 record the town's origin as a trading settlement: 'the Sultan... induced people to settle in it by concessions in the way of remissions of taxation, and that shortly afterwards traders came to it and established shops and markets.' IMPORTANT: the gazetteer does NOT identify these merchants by community - it names no Komatis at Hindupur - so no Arya Vysya attribution is made here.
