The above statement is true.
In South India, revenue was collected by the temples. According to an inscription from the 10th century, the temple's administrators collected the following taxes from Rajasthan: Sugar, jaggery, colours, thread, cotton, coconut, salt, almonds, butter, sesame oil, and fabric are all subject to taxes in kind. Gold, grain, oil, distillers, and animal feed traders all paid taxes. Cash was only used to pay some taxes. Temples are an integral part of the economy and society. People built temples to show their devotion to different deities. People then endowed temples with grants of land and money to carry out elaborate rituals, feed pilgrims and priests, and celebrate festivals.
