In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Kalyāṇamāla (कल्याणमाल) is the daughter of Vālikhilya and Pṛthvī and was an ancient king from Kūbarapura, according to the Jain Ramayana and chapter 7.5 [The kidnapping of Sītā] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.—Accordingly: “[...] Then the king of Kūbarapura, King Kalyāṇamāla, came there and saw Lakṣmaṇa. At once he was pierced by Kāma’s arrows whose nature is to pierce and, bowing to Lakṣmaṇa, said, ‘Be my guest for dinner’. Observing the agitation of love and bodily characteristics, Lakṣmaṇa thought, ‘She is a woman, but dressed as a man for some reason’. [...]”.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
Kalyāṇamālā (कल्याणमाला) or Pañcakalyāṇakamālā is the name of a work ascribed to Āśādhara (1178-1243 C.E.) according to the “New Catalogus Catalogorum” II. pp. 194-96. Āśādhara was a famous Jain author belonging to the Sapādalakṣa country where Śākambharī is situated and composed many works (viz., the Kalyāṇa-mālā).

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.
