Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Chola temples were not just a place to worship because, in the Chola empire, people started to live around the Chola temples, which became the nuclei of settlements. The kings granted temples land, and these temples were also the centres of craft production. Income from this land was used to maintain those who worked for the temples, like priests, cooks, musicians, garland-makers, sweepers and dancers. These temples thus became the hub of socio-cultural and economic life.
Hence the correct statement would be that Chola temples were the places of worship and the epicentres of settlements.
