Detailed Solution & Logic
Village assemblies were called Sabha and Ur/ ग्राम सभाओं को सभा और उर कहा जाता था
Explanation :
Both the Pallava Dynasty and Pandya Dynasty had a well-developed system of local self-government.
- Sabha → Assembly of Brahmin villages (agraharas)
- Ur → Assembly of common villages (non-Brahmin)
These assemblies managed:

Pallava Dynasty और Pandya Dynasty दोनों में स्थानीय स्वशासन की उन्नत व्यवस्था थी।
