Answer 1

The Rashtrakutas in the Deccan were the subordinate to the Chalukyas of Karnataka. It was during the mid-8th century

To gain acceptance, the new dynasties took on new titles and performed religious rituals to become a part of the Kshatriyas.

The irrigation works developed in the Tamil region were – wells, tanks to collect rainwater and river channels.

Temples were centre of craft production. Thus apart from the priests we find a number of people, who engaged in various activities, were associated with a Chola temple. They were – garland makers, cooks, sweepers, musicians, dancers, crafts people etc
