Khas Bungalow generally used as rest-house for distinguished European guests. One attractive feature of the town is the big and beautiful gardens by which it is surrounded. The Langarkhana gardens in the north, the Khasa gardens in the south, the Gymkhana gardens in the south-east, and the Venu gardens in the east are among the chief. The Gymkhana round and the Polo ground form the chief play-grounds for sports and games. The numerous temples of the place and the arrangement of their annual festivals, one every month prove beyond doubt, the religio- sity of the Town. Suffice it to say that the main temple of Siva is that of Sree Kasi Viswanatha-swami and that of Vishnu Sree Varadarajaswami and Sree Kodanda Ramaswami. The daily and periodical worships in the temples take place very regularly in account of the well-arranged system. The total number of houses according to the last census is about 3,000 including the several Rama-Mandirams and Mandapams, and the population about 12,000.
