India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Kohapāsāda or Lovā-maha-pāya, popularly but erroneously called the “Brazen Palace” is the name of a site at the Mahāvihāra in Anurādhapura.—The site was originally the Mahāmucala-mālaka and was consecrated by Mahinda Thera. Devānaṃpiya Tissa (B.C. 247-207) built the first Lohapāsāda. A great, new building was erected by Duṭṭhagāmaṇi Abhaya (B.C. 161-137); it was 100 cubits (150 feet) high and 100 cubits square, 9-storeyed, supported on 40 rows of pillars with 40 pillars in each row, and had 100 windows in each storey and 1,000 rooms in all: it was adorned with coral and precious stones, and its roof was covered with plates of burnished copper.
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.
