India history and geography
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume 4 (1896-97)Aṅguḷika is the name of a locality corresponding to the modern Iṅgaligi, as mentioned in the “Sankalapura inscription of Krishnaraya ” (1513 A.D.). This slab inscription records that Kṛṣṇarāya of Vijayanagara (A.D. 1510-1529) granted the village of Saṅkalāpura to a temple of Gaṇapati, which was called Kōṭa-Vināyaka. The village Saṅkalāpura was situated on the west of Aṅguḷika. The Hospet Taluk Map indicates that Iṅgaligi (east of Kāriganūru) corresponds to the Aṅguḷika of the inscription.
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.
