Abstract

In the context of medieval Chola inscriptions, the abstract covers the "Nagarathars," a business community also known as "Nattukottai Chettiars."The Nagarathars family was renowned for their involvement in banking, lending, and business.They founded a business association and a renowned business community by being actively involved in Tamil social and religious events.The inscriptions also mention their contribution to many temples, as well as their involvement in land transactions.The inscriptions provide a glimpse into the humanitarian activities of the Nagarathars, which include donations, temple renovations, and land grants.The dedication of the Nagarathars towards religious establishments is reflected by the inscription of their contributions to many temples.To provide a historical context, the study also refers to references of merchants and merchant guilds in medieval Tamil Nadu.The inscriptions from the important archaeological site of "Narthamalai" reflect the involvement of the Nagarathars.They played a major role in the economics and religious establishments of the area, both of which were crucial for the socioeconomic growth of the area.
