#Class7CH.Towns,Traders and Craftspersons
1.*How do temple towns represent a very important pattern of urbanisation?
2.*How were temples central to the economy and society?
Dear student,
1) They represent a very important pattern in urbanisation when:
They are central to economy and society.
The rulers grants lands and donations.
The temple authority used the money to trade finance and banking.
They became a central focus where the needs of people are catered by artisans,priests and workers.
2) a. Temples were symbolic of power and wealth of the kings and were extremely rich.
b. Temples received huge grants from the kings to carry out rituals
c. Further, temples also attracted large number of pilgrims who also made donations to them
d. The money, donations and grants was thus used by temple authorities for the purpose of banking and trading, thus contributing to the economy.
e. As they became important pilgrim centres, traders, artisans, priests settled near the temples to cater to pilgrims. Thus important towns emerged near temples
Regards
