Solution
Cholas were good administrator. They believed in local self-government. In many of the villages, the administration was carried out, not by the government officials but by the villagers themselves. These villages had three types of village assemblies, namely, the ur, the sabha, and the nagaram. There are long inscriptions on the walls of some of the village temples giving details of how the ur and sabha were organised.
