India history and geography
Source: Jainworld: Jain History (h)Bhaddalapura (भद्दलपुर) is another name for Bhaddilapura: the capital of Malaya. It is said that this place was visited by Ariṭṭhanemi and was the birth place of the tenth Tīrthaṅkara Sitalnath. Bhaddilapura is identified with Bhadia, a village near Kukuhā hill about nine km. from Hunterganja in the Hazaribagh District. According to Jaina Paṭṭāvalīs of the Mūlasaṃgha the first twenty-six pontificates belong to Bhaddalapura. After that, the 27th pontiff transferred his seat from Bhaddalapura to Ujjain. According to the four Paṭṭāvalīs, Bhaddalapura is identified with Bhilsa in Malwa while the fifth, which is the oldest, tells us that it was in the South. It is reasonable to identify this place with Bhadrika or Bhadrāvatī located near Ellora. It was one of the early capitals of the Imperial Rāṣṭrakūṭas.
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.
