India history and geography
In all probability, Jain King Nanda of Magadha was the Nandaraja mentioned in the Hathigumpha inscription who reigned around 1129 BCE. He was the follower of Buddhism. The Hathigumpha inscription of Kharavela clearly mentions that King Nandaraja had excavated a canal 103 years before the 5th regnal year of Kharavela. The same canal was repaired and enlarged by Kalingadhipati Kharavela in his 5th regnal year. Evidently, the 5th regnal year of Kharavela was the 103rd year elapsed from the reign of King Nandaraja.
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.
