India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasMuru is the name of a locality mentioned in the “Cintra stone inscription of Aparāditya I”. The holy place of Muru, where the third grant was made is probably identical with the Marutkṣetra (modern Muruḍ), mentioned in the Panhāle plates.
These stone inscriptions (mentioning Muru) were in the vicinity of the Jogeśvarī Cave to the north of Bombay in the Sālsette island. It is dated on the twelfth tithi of the bright fortnight of Caitra in the Śaka year 1059, the cyclic year being Piṅgala.
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.
