India history and geography
Kalāsāra (कलासार) or Kalāsāratantra is the name of a Tantra mentioned in association with the Saundaryalaharī and Vāmakeśvara-tantra and a (further unknown) book in the possession of Kamlesh Punyark [=Śrī Kamaleśa Puṇyārka or श्री कमलेश पुण्यार्क].—This book contains a detailed discussion of the basics of Tantra and opens with a list of three times sixty-four Tantras. One such text is the कलासार-तन्त्रम् [kalāsāra-tantram] or कलासार [kalāsāra].
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.
