India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasUttareśvara is the name of a God whose temple is situated at Sthānaka, according to the “Chanje stone inscription of Someśvara”.
This stone inscription (mentioning Uttareśvara) was found at Cānje near Uraṇ in the Panvel-tālukā of the Kolābā District. It records the grant by Someśvaradeva of an orchard known as Konthale-sthāna-vāṭikā in the village Cāṇḍije, situated near Uraṇa, on the occasion of a solar eclipse which occurred on Monday, the fifteenth tithi of the dark fortnight of Caitra in the Śaka year 1182 (expressed both in words figures), the cyclic year being Raudra.
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.
