Thigalas and Bengaluru Geography
The Karaga, which cuts across religious lines, has been linked with the Tigala community since the 16th Century.
The central part of Bengaluru’s Thigala population is called Thigalara peytey (proncounced “pay-tay“; Thigala's market). Based on their heritage story, they built temples to Draupadi and Dharmaraya (another name for Yudhishthira, the eldest of the five Pandava brothers in the Mahabharata).The most important of these temples are in Thigalara-peytey.
The Thigala cultivated vast nurseries in Bengaluru and a ring of outlying fortified towns but nobody today cares to re-examine their traditional concepts of urban planning.
It is learnt that there are forty lakhs people living throughout the state it is noted Kolar, Bengaluru, Tumkur districts are thickly populated urban and rural districts. Basically this community depends upon agricultural and horticultural activities.

Famous quotes containing the word geography:
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
