India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasRātrimatikanti is the name of an architect whose dispciple (guḍḍa) Bamagāvuṇḍa constructed the Jain Basadi temple, according to the “Honnur image inscription of the reign of Ballāla”. Accordingly, “The illustrious mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Ballāladeva and Gaṇḍarādityadeva have donated two hundred kammas and a house of six cubits... for the purpose of providing food to (the ascetics of) the basadi (temple) constructed by Bamagāvuṇḍa, the guḍḍa (disciple) of Rātrimatikanti of the Punnāgavṛkṣmūlagaṇa belonging to the illustrious Mūlasaṅgha”.
This record (mentioning Rātrimatikanti) is incised on the front of the abhiṣeka stand of the image of the standing Tīrthaṅkara Pārśvanātha inside a Jaina temple at Honnur. The record is not dated, but evidently belongs to the reign of mahāmaṇḍaleśvara Ballāla, a Śilāhāra king of Kolhāpur.
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.
