India history and geography
Source: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami TempleKṣetramāhātmya (क्षेत्रमाहात्म्य) or Kṣetravarṇana is the fourth chapter of the Syānandūrapuravarṇana-prabandha by Svāti-Tirunāḷ (1813-1846) (one of the rulers of Travancore) which deals with the different activities of the Thiruvananthapuram Temple, including ceremonies and festivals.—The fourth chapter, Kṣetravarṇana, is named Kṣetramāhātmya and the glory of Lord Padmanābha is enumerated in detail. While we do not find many details of the subsidiary deities in the other māhātmyas that we have discussed, this text of Svāti-Tirunāḷ praises them, too, and this description matches well with the subsidiary deities that one may see today in the Tiruvanantapuram temple.
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, 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.
