The Chola administration system was very well organised and efficient. The administration of Chola dynasty was essentially monarchical in character where the king was at the helm of the administration and all executive legislative and military powers rested with him.
A council of ministers and other high officials were there to advice the king for administration of Chola Empire. Even the princes of Chola dynasty were to associate with the ruling king and were actively employed in war and peace. Since the Chola empire was a big one there were many administrative divisions for the efficient working of the government.
The Chola Administration system did not had any central assembly either to assist the kings of Chola Dynasty in making policy or to help in day to day administration of the state like the Maurya administration. Since there was no central Assembly of the Vedic character, the king was alone responsible for efficient administration of the Chola Empire. The was a body of executive officers in the immediate and constant attendance of the king. Each department was represented by a group of officers. They were possibly personal staff rather than regular council of ministers.
There are more than 3000 temples (old) have been built and most of them contributed by Chola’s. Though Pallava, Pandya and Chera also built temples in the tamil country, the major contributions came from Cholas. There are so many villages in erstwhile Tanjavur cauvery river belt (presently comprising Nagai, Tiruvarur and Tanjore districts) and each and every village where waterbody is there, Chola’s have built the temples.
In world history, Cholas have no comparison with any other race, that they have built enourmous number of temples. Some of temples have been constructed by them in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka too.
Later years when Vijayanagara Kings occupied the southern territory, they have expanded and repaired hundreds of temples constructed by their fore fathers Cholas.
There was record mention in one of Thirumangai Azhwar (8th CE Azhwar) song that the Chola King named Kotchenganaan during his term of 6th century, he alone built 70 temples which were not an ordinary stone but elevated type of construction which is called in Tamil as MAADAKKOVIL. These elevated temples were used by devotees but also all public when flood enters the villages during rainy season. There were around 400 to 600 temples dedicated for Shiva and Vishnu during the period of VI and VII centuries on which the Nayanmars and Azhwars have sung songs. The Later Cholas from 8th CE to 14 CE expanded the above temples and constructed hundreds of new temples all over their regions. The Nayanmars who were singing in praise of Shiva temples of around 350 and above and Azhwars who were singing in praise of Vishnu temples of around 105 both called as in Tamil Padal Petra Sthalangal ( Shiva Temple graced by songs) and Dhivya Sthalangal (Vishnu Temples graced by Azhwars), and all these temples were constructed from 3rd CE to 6CE by all the kings includes Pallavas, Pandyas and Cholas.
