India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasMārīcagiri or simply Mārīca is the name of a mountain (giri) mentioned in the “Kutapur grant of Bhoja II”. The southern river is called Gaṅgā, and is said to have been flowing from Mārīca-giri. It may be identical with the river flowing near Rājāpur. No hill in its neighbourhood is, however, now known as Mārīca.
A transcript of this Grant (mentioning Mārīcagiri) together with that of the Kaśeli Grant (No.60, above) was originally in the possession of two Vedic Brāhmaṇas surnamed Gurjara. It records the grant of land measuring thirty nivartanas at the village Kutāpura situated in Madhya Pradeśa. It was made on the occasion of a solar eclipse which occurred on Wednesday, the new-moon tithi of Mārgaśīrṣa in the Ṡaka year 1113, the cyclic year being Virodhakṛt.
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.
