Answer 2

Answer:

Temple authorities used their wealth to finance

trade and banking. Gradually a large number of

priests, workers, artisans, traders, etc. settled near

the temple to cater to its needs and those of the

pilgrims. Thus grew temple towns. Towns emerged

around temples such as those of Bhillasvamin (Bhilsa

or Vidisha in Madhya Pradesh), and Somnath in

Gujarat. Other important temple towns included

Kanchipuram and Madurai in Tamil Nadu, and

Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh.

Pilgrimage centers also slowly developed into

townships. Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh) and

Tiruvannamalai (Tamil Nadu) are examples of two

such towns. Ajmer (Rajasthan) was the capital of the

Chauhan kings in the twelfth century and later

became the suba headquarters under the Mughals.

It provides an excellent example of religious

coexistence. Khawaja Moinuddin Chishti, the celebrated Sufi saint (see also Chapter 8) who settled

there in the twelfth century, attracted devotees from

all creeds. Near Ajmer is a lake, Pushkar, which has

attracted pilgrims from ancient times.
