India history and geography
Source: Shodhganga: The significance of the mūla-beras (history)Parantaka (AD 907-955) is the name of a king from the [Medieval] Chola Dynasty (AD 848).—The last important phase of art in South India is a mingling of late Chalukya and late Chola art under the Vijayanagara monarchs. In the time of Aditya (AD 871-907) and Parantaka, there was much temple-building activity and Parantaka, who was devoted to Siva, covered the temple at Chidambaram with gold.
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.
