India history and geography
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Gaṅgeśvarapura or simply Gaṅgeśvara is the name of an ancient city mentioned in the “Asankhali plates of Narasiṃha II” (1302 A.D.). The third plot of the gift land consisted of a locality called Gaṅgeśvarapura which is described as homestead land. It was also situated in the same region and was bounded on the east by the highway (rājapatha) to the west of the Vaṃśodā road and on the west by a sāla tree. It is again said that, in the west, it touched a piece of land in the possession of two persons named Gopāla and Champadāsa, while its eastern limit is said to have been a sāla tree.
These copper plates (mentioning Gaṅgeśvarapura) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king Vīra-Narasiṃhadeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-kaṭaka (city, camp or residence).
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.
