India history and geography
Source: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryAṅga-bhoga.—(EI 17; CITD), often associated with raṅga- bhoga as aṅga-raṅga-bhoga, usually explained as ‘decora- tions and illuminations of a deity’. That aṅga-bhoga means decoration of the image of a deity is clear from the fact that a queen is known to have received a village as an agrahāra for her aṅga-bhoga, i. e. as her pin-money (Bomb. Gaz., Vol. I, Part ii, p. 448). Sometimes the land granted for the aṅga- bhoga of a deity came to be known as the deity's aṅga-bhoga (Ep. Ind., Vol. XXXIII, p. 182); cf. aṅga, same as gātra (IA 11). Note: aṅga-bhoga is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
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.
