India history and geography
Source: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami TempleAnantaśayanakṣetra (अनन्तशयनक्षेत्र) or Anantaśayanakṣetramāhātmya is the name of a text talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple.—Several works other than the Purāṇas speak about the glory of the Tiruvanantapuram temple: a Māhātyma named Anantaśayanakṣetra-māhātmya, probably composed before the fourteenth century, an early Malayalam work known under the title Anantapuravarṇana, and other texts such as the Syānandūrapurāṇasamuccaya, the Padmanābhodaya by Śaṅku, the Padmanābhacarita by Kṛṣṇaśarman (see Raja 1958, 169–170) and the Padmanābhakīrtana (see Raja 1958, 173) give light on the temple as well as on its glorification.
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.
