India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Jaya-Gaṅgā is the name of an ancient river from the times of the ancient kingdom of Anurādhapura, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—Dhātusena (455-473) built Kālavāpi, present Kalāvava, and Kālavāpi-vihāra. Twin with kalāvava was Balaluvava which still bears the same name, and was also built by Dhātusena. Presumably, though there is no statement to that effect, Dhātusena simultaneously built the Jaya-Gaṅgā, the artificial canal, now called Yoda-ala, which conveys water a distance of 55 miles from Kalāvava to Tissavava at Anurādhapura and irrigates a large area along its course.
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.
