India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society 1963Pallegama is the name of an ancient locality that existed in the Polonnaruva (Polonnaruwa) district of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—[... also see Amban-Ganga...] The Kalu-Ganga was dammed at Hattoṭa (near Pallegama) at an elevation of 500 feet and the water was conveyed northward along a canal, now ruined, which appears to come to an abrupt termination after about 16 miles. The local tradition is that this canal formerly continued a further 12 miles and entered the Amban-Gaṅga just above the Alahara anicut, but only one short length of the old bund is now recognisable on the ground in this section.
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.
