India history and geography
Source: Institut Français de Pondichéry: The Shaivite legends of KanchipuramDīpaprakāśa (दीपप्रकाश) (i.e., Dīpaprakāśaviṣṇu) (in Sanskrit) refers to Viḷakkoḷimāyōṉ or Viḷakkoḷiviṇṭu in Tamil, and represents one of the proper nouns mentioned in the Kanchipuranam, which narrates the Shaivite Legends of Kanchipuram—an ancient and sacred district in Tamil Nadu (India). The Kanchipuranam (mentioning Dīpaprakāśa) reminds us that Kanchipuram represents an important seat of Hinduism where Vaishnavism and Shaivism have co-existed since ancient times.
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.
