India history and geography
Source: Yale Journal of Music & Religion: Ritual Music in Contemporary Brahmanical Tantric Temples of KeralaAntarmaṇḍala (अन्तर्मण्डल) refers to the innermost enclosure surrounding the śrīkōvil (shrine) and represents the first of the pañcaprākāras or “five successive enclosures” of certain temples from Kerala sanctioned by the Tantrasamuccaya.—Such temples, alternatively called kṣetras or ambalams, consist of six parts: (1) the shrine, or śrīkōvil, and (2) the pañcaprākāras, the five successive enclosures surrounding it. [...] The antarmaṇḍala is the innermost enclosure (prākāra). It surrounds the śrīkōvil and includes a pillared hall built in front of it and the balipīṭhas, which are stones representing the eight regents of space (aṣṭa-dikpālas) and other divinities.
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.
