India history and geography
Source: archive.org: South Indian FestivitiesThe Indian calendar is named panchanga since it is comprised of five limbs, and they are (1) the tithi, (2) the vara, (3) the nakshatra, (4) the yoga and (5) the karana. A man desiring prosperity pays attention to the tithi. One desirous of long life understands everything about vara or the days of the week. The nakshatras are resorted to to be freed from sins and the yoga for obtaining immunity from diseases. The karana is said to secure for the observer success in all undertakings.
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.
