India history and geography
Ambavāpi is the name of an ancient tank that existed since the ancient kingdom of Anurādhapura, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—The construction of Mahaṭombuva or Māṭombu tank is ascribed to Jeṭṭhatissa I (263-275) and to Aggabodhi II (604-614). Aggabodhi IV (667-683) built the Māṭambiya Practising House. The names Mahaṭombuva, Māṭombu and Māṭambiya appear to be preserved in modern Māṭombuva Korale and Tulāna. To the Practising House were assigned:—(i) Ambavāpi at Būkakalla; (ii) Tantavāyikacāṭika village; and (iii) Niṭṭhilaveṭṭhi village.
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.
