India history and geography
Bhaṃḍīravaṇa (भंडीरवण) is one of twelve forests, associated with Mahurā, as is mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Twelve forests [(9) 18.31-32], § 4: Kāmiavaṇa; Kumuavaṇa; Kolavaṇa; Khairavaṇa; Tālavaṇa; Bahulāvana; Billavaṇa; Bhaṃḍīravaṇa; Mahāvaṇa; Mahuvaṇa; Lohajaṃghavaṇa; Viṃdāvaṇa (cf.

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.
