Madakasira

Town Sri Sathya Sai district Andhra Pradesh 21,464 in 2011
CONFIDENCE: marked medium because the 2011 population carried here is published only by Wikipedia; the town is below the 1-lakh threshold of the official Census 2011 provisional cities table, and no official per-town census page could be retrieved. The civic status itself IS official (CDMA ULB directory). Urban local body merged with its mandal-headquarters record. Civic status per the official CDMA ULB directory (listed as 'MADAKASHIRA', grade code 'NP' = Nagar Panchayat). Wikipedia's district article states 'Nagar Panchayat'. 2011 population 21,464 is as published by Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Sathya_Sai_district); no live official census URL for this town could be retrieved, so the population figure is medium-confidence even though the civic status is official. Revenue division: Madakasira. The mandal name is from the official district portal; the grouping into revenue divisions is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Sathya_Sai_district, because the official portal's mandal table is not explicitly grouped by division. Division assignment is therefore medium-confidence. Official portal https://srisathyasai.ap.gov.in/revenue-divisions/ lists 5 revenue divisions (Puttaparthi, Penukonda, Kadiri, Dharmavaram, Madakasira). Madakasira revenue division was formed on 31 December 2025 per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Sathya_Sai_district. SOURCE CONFLICT on counts: the same portal's https://srisathyasai.ap.gov.in/mandal/ prose says 'Sri Satyasai District Consists of 29 Mandals' yet its own table numbers 32 mandals, and https://srisathyasai.ap.gov.in/demography/ reports 29 revenue mandals and only 3 revenue divisions. This dataset carries the 32 mandals tabulated on the official portal.

1905 Madras District Gazetteer, p. 182, verbatim: 'Its bazaar street contains a number of the neat verandahs, supported on carved and coloured pillars which are a feature of this corner of the district.' and 'Bangles are made in the village and there is a considerable export trade in the ordinary products of the countryside and the sakayi nut.' Imperial Gazetteer of India, Madras Vol. I (1908), pp. 492-493 adds: 'The town is now a fairly important market centre... Its bazar contains a number of houses faced with the neat verandas, supported on carved and painted pillars, which are a feature of this corner of the District.' No community attribution is given for the traders and none is asserted here.
