India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Geography in Ancient Indian inscriptionsPaṅktipura (पङ्क्तिपुर) or Paṃktipura.—Kirukuppatur grant of Kṛṣṇavarman II mentions the city of Paṃktipura. In Kuntagani Plates of Ravivarman, the district of Paṃktipura is mentioned. The city has been identified with modern Hangal in Dharwar district, Mysore State.
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica Volume XXXII (1957-1958)Paṅktipura (पङ्क्तिपुर) should be identified with modern Hangal in the Dharwar District of Mysore State and that it is not another name of Vaijayantī as supposed by Dr. Sankalia. Paṅktipura is also mentioned as Pāṃktipura in the Kirukuppaṭūr grant of Kadamba Kṛishṇavarman II. Here it occurs as Pāṃktipura-vishaya which is evidently the region round about Hangal. In later records the place-name appears as Pāntipura or Pānthipura and is subsequently replaced by Pānuṃgal which is the earlier name of modern Hangal.
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.
