India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasDhārāvāhalā (धारावाहला) refers to a locality on the eastern boundary of Asanavīra: a village mentioned in the Paṭṭaṇakuḍi plates of Avasara II. Kielhorn translated this as ‘a water-course caused by heavy showers of rain’, but suggested also that it may be a proper name like ‘Akhaḍada-vāhalā’ below. Vāhaḷa, in Marathi, means ‘a small stream. The village Asanavīra was granted by Raṭṭarāja to his learned preceptor Ātreya, who was a disciple of the Śaiva ascetic Ambhojaśambhu of the Karkaroṇī branch of the Mattamayūra clan.
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.
