India history and geography
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Kārttikeyapura (कार्त्तिकेयपुर) is the name of a village mentioned in the “Plate of Lalitaśūradeva” (853-854 A.D.). Kārttikeyapura is identified with Baijnāth or Vaidyanāth (lat. 29º 54′ 24″ N., long. 79º 39′ 28″E.), a village in Pargana Dānpur of the Hazūr Tahsil in the Almora District. According to a tradition noticed by Atkinson, the city was built by a Katyūrī king of the Katyūr valley in Kumaun on the ruins of an older city named Karavīrapura. It is not improbable that the name Kārttikeyapura is a Sanskritized form of the aboriginal name Katyūr. Possibly Kartṛipura of the Allahabad pillar inscription was just another Sanskritized form of the same name.
This inscribed copper plate (mentioning Kārttikeyapura) is preserved in the temple of Yogabadarī (one of the Pañcabadarī) at Pāṇḍukeśvar (Pāṇḍukeśvara). The date is estimated 22nd December 853 A.D. and it records the grant of some land which was in the possession of a person named Denduvāka and was lying within the jurisdiction of the administrative unit called Thappalasāri forming a part of the viṣaya or district of Kārttikeyapura.
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.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
