India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Kahagal or Kahagalgama is identified with Kāsapabbata: the name of an ancient locality that existed since the ancient kingdom of Anurādhapura, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—The next point of Duṭṭhagāmaṇi’s advance beyond Mahelanagara was Kāsapabbata, also called Kālapabbata, Kasāgalbada and Kasāgalugama. It was at this same Kāsapabbata that Paṇḍukābhaya, nearly two centuries earlier, had begun his eastward march. Geiger identifies Kāsapabbata with Kahagalgama, 18 miles south-east of Anurādhapura, but this name does not appear on modern maps and village lists: there is a Kahallegama between Eruvava (Eruvāva) and Labunoruva.
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.
