The economy and economic activities of pre – colonial Srihatta Kingdom could not be anything but agriculture, which suggest the presence of the peasants. The occupations crossed the racial boundaries. Professional specialization emerged social groups. The economic factors operated as a motive force in the formulation of the cult practices at the lower level. In fact, from sowing time to activities, the peasantry here observes and performs a number of customs and practices, which retains their original magical significance that seeks to influence nature for direct and indirect economic gains.
