History:
Bhogavarapu is a Telugu caste found mainly in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. It is believed to be an offshoot of the Kapu caste.
The Bhogavarapu caste is believed to have emerged in the 16th century during the reign of the Vijayanagara Empire. It is believed that the Bhogavarapus were originally a group of warriors who fought for the Vijayanagara Empire and were rewarded with land grants.
Description:
The Bhogavarapu people are known for their traditional dress, which includes the dhoti, a long piece of cloth that is wrapped around the waist and legs. They also wear a turban on their heads. They practice Hinduism and celebrate all the major festivals of the Hindu religion.
The Bhogavarapu community is known for its strong sense of community and kinship. They have a strong sense of family values and follow traditional customs and rituals. They also follow the caste system and practice endogamy, which means that they only marry within their own caste.
The Bhogavarapu caste is divided into two sub-castes, the Reddy Bhogavarapu and the Kamma Bhogavarapu. The Reddy Bhogavarapu are believed to be descendants of the Vijayanagara Empire, while the Kamma Bhogavarapu are believed to be descendants of the Chola dynasty.
