India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasKollāpuratīrtha or simply Kollāpura is the name of a holy centre (tīrtha), according to the “Herle stone inscription of Gaṇḍarāditya”. Accordingly, “With his greatness pervading the entire world, the best among the preceptors, an ornament among the ascetics, Bālacandra-vratī, the Ācārya of the Chandraprabha-Jīnabhavana, the Chief of the famous Kollāpura-tīrtha, became engaged in the protection of the good practices of his worthy preceptors, became a donor, became (a person of) charming character, and became the leader among the great Saiddhāntikas”
This stone inscription (mentioning Kollāpuratīrtha) was found at Herle, a village, about 11.25 km. west of Hātakaṇangale in the Kolhāpur District. It records the grant of one matter of land in Eḍenāḍa and a garden to the Tīrthaṅkara Chandraprabha in the Basadi. It was made on the occasion of a lunar eclipse in Śaka 1040, when the cyclic year was Vilambi.
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.
