India history and geography
Source: Jainworld: Jain History (h)Dhavalakkapura (धवलक्कपुर).—The present name of the ancient town Dhavalakapura is Dholkā, situated is Ahmedabad District. It has still a few Jaina temples, including the great Kalikuṇḍa Pārśvanātha-shrine. The Purātana Prabhanda Saṃgraha mentions the Simandhara Svāmin temple of this town, built by the merchant called Ūdā. It was popularly known as Ūdāvasati and it was consecrated by Devāchārya in the first quarter of the twelfth century. This work also refers to the temple of Pārśva of this town and associates him with the celebrated saint Abhayadeva, the author of the Aṅga commentaries. This town was closely associated with the religous activities of the two great Jaina Ministers, namely Vastupāla and Tej Ahpāla. In V.S. 1372, the Pūṇḍari-ka-charita of Kamalaprabhasūri was written at this town.
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.
