India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: Ajanta’s antiquityDeccan plateau is an archaeologically important site in terms of ancient Buddhism.—The ghāṭs of the Deccan plateau are dotted with dozens of ancient Buddhist saṅghārāmas. They also cradled the pilgrimage sites of other faiths, including those of the Śaivites, Vaiṣṇavites, and the Jains. Many saṅghārāmas have not survived the ravages of time, especially those that were made of less resilient media like brick, wood, and stone.
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.
