Abstract
When we talk about Topography of the village khurpatal, we are discussing here about three main factors like residential clusters, type of soil and type of terrain. Now
coming to the first factor Residential clusters, here in this village we observed three main clusters of houses, although the villagers are mentioning that there is no differentiating
factor among them. The three clusters formed based upon caste factor and those three castes are Brahmin, Thakur, Shilpkars(Harijans). To explain this cluster forming exactly, we
have seen the houses of Shilpkars are away from the other houses and even more important point to observe here is, they have separate temple although there are two more temples in
the main village.
