Question

How did Thanjavur develop into an administration town?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Thanjavur, situated on the banks of river Kaveri in Tamil-Nadu, was the capital of the Chola dynasty a thousand years ago.
2. It was a busy commercial town with markets for grains, spices, cloth, and jewellery. And water was supplied to its people and visitors from big wells and tanks.
3. Its architecture included different temples and palaces with 'mandapas' (pavallions) that were used by kings to hold courts and carry out their administrative affairs. But they were also used as prayer halls, and some even housed religious dancing and music concerts.
4. So Thanjavur is also an example of a temple town, where urbanisation (the process by which cities grow) happened as temples became central to society and economy.
