India history and geography
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Kumārapura is the name of an ancient city mentioned in the “Asankhali plates of Narasiṃha II” (1302 A.D.). The fifth plot of land comprised the locality called Kumārapura. It was bounded in the east by the highway to the north of Kumārabhogya (the haṭṭa or market-place of this name mentioned above) and in the west by a sāla tree. Its southern boundary touched the northern limit of the land of Gopāla and Champadāsa mentioned before in connection with the third and fourth plots, while its northern end was marked by a hijjala tree. The land within these boundaries measured 66 vāṭikās.
These copper plates (mentioning Kumārapura) were discovered from the house of a Santal inhabitant of Pargana Asankhali in the Mayurbhanj State (Orissa). It was made when king Vīra-Narasiṃhadeva was staying at the Bhairavapura-kaṭaka (city, camp or residence).
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.
