In Hinduism
Dharmashastra (religious law)
Haṭṭa (हट्ट) is another name for kula, a Sanskrit technical term referring to “part of a village”. The word is used throughout Dharmaśāstra literature such as the Manusmṛti. (See the Manubhāṣya verse 7.119)

India history and geography
Haṭṭa.—(EI 1, 30, LP), a market or market-place. Note: haṭṭa is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
Haṭṭa (हट्ट) (Sanskrit) (in Prakrit: Cauhaṭṭa) refers to “market places”, which were vividly depicted in ancient Indian Kathās (narrative poems), for example, by Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry) narrating the love-story between Prince Candrāpīḍa and the Apsaras Kādambarī.—The Kuvalayamala (779 A.D.) is full of cultural material which gains in value because of the firm date of its composition. [...] There were usually eighty-four market places in a medieval town of which a list is given in the Pṛthvīcandracarita. [...]
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.
