India history and geography
Guṇabhadra (गुणभद्र).—The king Guṇabhadra caused to be cut out of the rock the temple of Viṣṇu, which bore the name Mahendra-viṣṇu-gṛha and stood on the bank of Mahendra-taṭāka, situated in Mahedrapura. The city, the tank, and the temple—all were named after Mahedra, the other name of king Guṇabhadra.
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.
