Source: Shodhganga: Temple management in the Āgamas (history)Devakarmin (देवकर्मिन्) refers to a division of staff working at Śiva temples, according to [medieval] temple inscriptions and Śaivāgamas.—From inscriptions on the Rājasiṃheśvara temple (SII 1.86, 1.87, 1.88), we learn that the temple had a Devakarmin (or Dēvakaṉmi) and a Kaṇakku (temple accountant). When houses on the saṉṉidhi street belonging to the temple were sold, it was sanctioned by the local chief’s executive officer and signed by many including the Devakarmin and Kaṇakku.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
