Dasarapalli holds a unique cultural identity, heavily influenced by the presence of Catholic missionaries who settled in the village over a century ago. As a result, the village has a notable population of Catholics who actively participate in religious rituals and festivities. [5] The missionaries not only brought the Catholic faith but also played an integral role in establishing educational institutions in the village. [6]
