In the traditional caste-based social structure of the Vijayanagara kingdom, the occupation of a smith (blacksmith, goldsmith, etc.) held a higher social status compared to weavers, potters, and leather-workers. The smiths were associated with metalwork, which was considered a skilled and valued profession. They played a crucial role in crafting tools, weapons, jewelry, and other metal objects, which were highly valued in the society. As a result, smiths enjoyed a higher social standing and were often accorded more respect and privileges compared to individuals engaged in other occupations like weaving, pottery, or leather-working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
