Answers
Answer:
Women held great temples during the Cholas reign.
Explanation:
The importance of temples and women's relationships with a temple, a god, or a place was expressed not only in the ways they identified themselves, but also in the terms applied to them in Chola period inscriptions. These terms had such meanings as 'devote of God", "daughter of God" and "women of the temple".
They did not identify temple women with reference to sectarian affiliations but underscored the connection between temple women and a particular locale and the deity of that place. The increase in the visibility of temple women between the early and later Chola periods is directly linked to their increased activity as donors, particularly as patrons of their home temples.
