History of MILLETS
in Chola dynasty
The Cholas, renowned for their architectural grandeur and deep connection to agriculture, had a unique practice of storing millets, particularly foxtail millet (Thinai), in the kalasam of the Brihadeeswarar Temple in Thanjavur. This tradition was rooted in both practical and symbolic purposes. The kalasam, the golden pinnacle of the temple, was believed to hold the essence of prosperity and longevity for the kingdom. By storing millets in this sacred space, the Cholas ensured the preservation of these essential grains, which were a staple of their diet and agriculture. This practice also symbolized the hope for a continuous supply of food and the well-being of the land and its people, intertwining the spiritual with the agricultural heritage of the region.
