India history and geography
Bijeshvari is another name for the Vidhyeshvari Vajra Yogini Temple—a Newar Buddhist temple in the Kathmandu valley dedicated to the Vajrayana Buddhist deity Vajrayogini (or Bajra Jogini in the Newar language) in her form as Akash Yogini.—Vidyadhari, the “Knowledge Holder”, is the presiding deity of this temple.—The temple stands on the west bank of the Bishnumati river next to the ancient religious site of the Ramadoli (Karnadip) cremation ground and is on the main path from Swayambhunath stupa (to the west) to Kathmandu.
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.
