India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsCitravātaṅgara (चित्रवातङ्गर) is a place-name classified as a grāma and mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Citravātaṅgara is the name of a village. Citra means ‘excellent’ or distinguished and vātaṅgara (from vātaṅkara) means ‘producing wind’. Thus the whole will literally mean “which produces excellent wind or air”. The village might have been noted for its healthy and open atmosphere.
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.
