Why was the Kaveri river important for the Chola state?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: For agriculture and irrigation
The Kaveri and its branches watered a fertile delta where intensive agriculture could develop. Irrigation channels, embankments, and river-fed fields supported food production, revenue collection, settlements, and the power of Chola rulers. The river was not connected with creating deserts, deciphering the Indus script, or horse riding. Its importance lay mainly in the agricultural and economic base it helped sustain.
