The sources provide an extensive historical and geographical overview of the Indian city of Vizag, also known by its colonial name Vizagapatnam and former name Vaijag, highlighting its transformation from a small fishing village into a major port city. The first two sources offer a chronological history of Vizag's major events, listing rulers from the Mauryan Empire to the establishment of modern institutions like the port and university, while also detailing its geographical features and cultural components like cuisine and festivals. The third source, inspired by B. Carmichael’s 1869 manual, focuses specifically on the 18th and 19th centuries, describing the city's colonial encounters with the Dutch, French, and British, its spiritual landmarks, and the socio-economic impacts of British governance and port upgrades. Together, the texts paint a comprehensive picture of the city's ancient roots, its strategic importance during the colonial era, and its ongoing evolution as a modern center of commerce and culture.
