2011 census population of Warangal city recorded as 627,449, later 830,281 within expanded city limits. Warangal became a circar in the early 1800s and a district in 1866 when the circars were abolished and Warungal, Khummettu and part of Bhonagheer circars were merged. Kakatiya capital region. The Wikipedia article on the Kakatiya dynasty records that Ganapati Deva "was keen to bolster the dynasty's economy. He encouraged merchants to trade abroad, abolishing all taxes except for a fixed duty and supporting those who risked their lives to travel afar" - the policy recorded in the Motupalli inscription. No source consulted names a specific Arya Vysya sangam or Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari temple inside Warangal city; the Arya Vysya institutional record for the erstwhile Warangal district that survives in the community satram registers sits at the rural kshetrams (Palakurthi, Kuravi, Kothakonda, Kaleshwaram).
