India history and geography
Source: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri’s Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Abhiṣekamahotsava (अभिषेकमहोत्सव) or simply Mahotsava refers to the “great festival of coronation” (of a crown prince), or Yuvarājābhiṣeka, which was celebrated in ancient India, as depicted in the Kathās (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).—Page 199: Here is described yuvarāja-abhiṣekamahotsava when the city of Ayodhyā put on gala appearance by means of beautifying streets, sprinkling of scented waters on its roads, hanging of flower-garlands, putting up golden gates, adorning the palace, [...]. In the āsthānamaṇḍapa was placed a big royal throne which was occupied by prince regent Kuvalayacandra and decked with golden pitchers studded with many kinds of jewels and covered with golden lotuses.
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.
