In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: archive.org: Narmadāparikramā – Circumambulation of the NarmadāḌiṇḍi (डिण्डि) refers to a sound made by Śiva.—At Ḍimāvar is the famous Ḍiṇḍimeśvara. In the Apabhraṃśa language, Ḍiṇḍimeśvara became Ḍimāvar. By playing his ḍamaru, god Śiva made the sound “ḍiṇḍim” here. The story is given in the Revākhaṇḍa. In Ḍimāvar there is a new joint temple of Pañcanātha Mahādeva and Muralimanohara, which was built by the grace of Svāmī Oṃkārānand Giri.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
India history and geography
Source: archive.org: S.V.U.Oriental Journal, Vol. XI, Jan-Dec 1968, Parts 1&2Diṇḍi is the name of a major historic river of Āndhradeśa (Andhra country).—The evolution of Āndhra culture through the ages in its manifold facets succoured by its rivers presents a large diversity nevertheless wiih an all pervading underlying unity. The Brahmakuṇḍi or Guṇḍlakamma unlike several other larger rivers which are tributaries, has an independent course and falls into the Bay of Bengal. It had more in common with the larger rivers except in its length where it resembles the minor rivers (e.g., Diṇḍi). On either side of the holy river, flourished kingdoms of the Yādavas of Addanki and of the Reḍḍis subsequently. Centres of pilgrimage, eg., Kanuparti had their heyday. The region and the river are celebrated in the records and literature of the Reḍḍis and relics of bygone glory are seen even today.
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.
