Secondly, it is clarified, the present condition of the caste segregation in Madurai based on the distribution of temples and shops, street names and so on. One of the conclusion is that, Madurai city has the hierarchical co-centric square formation which is similar to "Nandyavarta" described in Manasara, and the arrangement of the caste group's residences also follow it basically.
