From the ninth century until the sixteenth century, the region of South India was ruled by the Chola, Pandya, and Krishnadeva Raya dynasties, who were all fine jewelry connoisseurs. Ruling for such a long time, temple jewelry became an intrinsic part of religious and cultural tradition. As you can infer from its name, temple jewelry was often used to worship and adorn the sacred figures of Indian gods, goddesses, and deities.
