India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Vijayanagara PaintingsLepākṣī (लेपाक्षी) is the name of an ancient city in Anantapur district.—At Lepākṣī, there is a temple of considerable importance, with a whole series of paintings giving the best report on Vijayanagara paintings in the sixteenth century. Though now an insignificant spot, it was once a great centre of trade. Pilgrims flooded here to visit the temple of Vīrabhadra that was famous in the days of the Vijayanagara monarchs at Lepākṣī. This temple was built by Vīrupaṇṇa Nāyaka and Vīraṇṇa who on behalf of the emperors ruled the area.
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.
