Detailed Solution

Brahmadeya land was given to the Brahmanas in the Chola empire. The Brahmanas were frequently given land grants or brahmadeya. As a result, many Brahmana settlements sprang up in the Kaveri valley and other parts of south India. Each brahmadeya was overseen by a sabha of prominent Brahmana landholders. These assemblies performed admirably. Their decisions were detailed in inscriptions, often found on the stone walls of temples.
