The 11I0t(( on the OilIer title of this vollime represents a specimen of main entrance (SIMHADWARAM)to a hOllse in lV/'Jllthani TOll n of Karimnagar District. Decorative and religiolls aspec/sare llsua!l!!combined in designing different elements of a ho!m in a fllljority of /rollses of Hindu families. The compound wall is usually quite high so that either the entire house or liz!' people moving inside are nOT easily visible from outside. Exactly opposite to the actual entrance of the house, a rectang:ilaJ"shaped main entrance is constructed andfrom both sides of it, the compound waf{ encircles the hOllse. The desigr. al the top and the arches above the woodell door ofthe main entrance are tastefully carved out. The wooden door also generally has some beautifd designs carved on it. In the centre of the top-side beam of the door the image of Lord' Vighneswara' or 30me other dli!y is engraved with the belief that this God will help the householder in achieving success in all ventures without allY obstructions. At the top of the duor a 'THORANAM' i.e., small bunches of mango leaves tied to a piece o/jute . twine is f{r!nerally fixed and it is. believed that it is auspiciolts for a happy life. This 'THORANAM' is rene II I'd on every festive \ ' , . . occasion with fresh leaves. Two niches a'Narranged on either side ofrhe door for keeping lighted lamps- cotton }\ icks in oil placf'd in small shallow earthen plates-particularly on/estive occasions. It is considered the privilage and sacred duty of the hOHse-wife to light these lamps.
Th? d?signing of every hOllse is i!1dividualistic largely based on family traditions and beliefs, All the same the totality of the houses in a locality/village reffectsthe cultural homogeneity and standards of the peop!" of the place. It is in thi~ kind of house b?{ilt according to the individl:al taste that the hOI:seholder enjoys hi~ liff' on Eart" with his wife and chilliI'm. The house sustains him in his life all through and whar is more every man's house is his best fort. Ultimately it is the 'Sweet Home' in every house that nourishes cheer in fife.

It is observed from the above statement that holds occupying 3 rooms or more, All the same the the proportion of households occupying 3 rooms or proportion of pucca houses alone does not determiqe more has decreased in all the cities in 1970 compared the proportion of households occupying, 3 rooms or to 1960 except in ElUfu, Hyderabad, Warangai more. It is one of the factors. When the proportion and Nizamabad, but the increase in the of workers in industry, construction, trade and com proportion of such households in these three merce in the cities are considered, it will be seen cities also is not very significant. This i.s of that Raiahmundry, Vijayawada, Guntur and Nizamabad a very small order except in the case of Nizamabad whj,:;h have a proportion of about 20% or more workers city where the proportion has been gone up from 16% in these industrial categories, have a relatively 100w pro in 1960 to about 20% in 1970. The proportion of fucca portion of households occupying 3 rooms or mOre i.e., houses in all the cities is fairly high. It is less than 50% the proportion of households occupying one or 2 rooms of the total number of houses only in Eluru, Guntur, in such· cities which are more developed industrially Nellore and Kurnool Cities. In Eluru and Guntur the Of commercially is higher while the less indus proportion is very close to 50% while in Kurnool it is trially or commercially developed cities have a larger only 36%. Yet, the proportion of households occupy proportion of households with 3 rooms or more. ing 3 rooms or more is the highest (32.8 %) in Kurnool city. 35. Apart from the cammon type of kachcha 36. The average size of a household has increased houses with mud roofs which have first floor over the from 4.79 in 1960 to 4.94 persons in 1970 in the rural ground floor in Kurnool city, the proportion of workers areas of the State and from 5.00 to 5.25 persons in in manufacturing, construction, trade and transport, put the urban areas as can be seen from the fOJllowing state together is the lowest compared to the corresponding ment. It may alsOl be noted that the average size proportion in other cities of the State. Waranga1 city of a household increased from 4.72 in 1951 to 4.79 which has the second highest proportion of 32.3 % of persons in 1961 in the rural areas and from 4.90 in households occupying 3 rooms or more has a very high 1951 to 5.00 persons in 1961, in the urban areas of proportion of 65 % of pucca houses which is the second the State. Thus the increase in the average size of a highest proportion of pucca houses in all the cities, the household both in the rural and urban areas during highest being 73.6% in Hyderabad city.
