It is really not a village by statistics. It is a place where both the environment of villages and towns will be seen. The festival celebrations, temples and religious activities like Hanumath Jayanthi Temple]], Shakti Poleramma Jatara and mass holy sea baths during eclipses, traditions, rice fields, lakes and serene coastal areas give village appearance. Its telephone and communication facilities, schools, being the shopping centre and business place for adjacent villages, size of the area and population, interest in politics, lifestyle and attire make it look like a town. Since it is a major village consisting of educated people, the people from this village participated in freedom struggle enthusiastically and the village got its place in the history of Nellore district.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them.”
—Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
“Everyone in our culture wants to win a prize. Perhaps that is the grand lesson we have taken with us from kindergarten in the age of perversions of Dewey-style education: everyone gets a ribbon, and praise becomes a meaningless narcotic to soothe egoistic distemper.”
—Gerald Early (b. 1952)
“Our culture still holds mothers almost exclusively responsible when things go wrong with the kids. Sensing this ultimate accountability, women are understandably reluctant to give up control or veto power. If the finger of blame was eventually going to point in your direction, wouldn’t you be?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
