India history and geography
Poṇḍī (पोण्डी) is the name of a village mentioned in the Bilhari Chedi inscription.—Accordingly, “[...] there arose a man from whom proceeded the clan of the Chalukyas and in that powerful family was born Avanivarman who had as his father Sadhanvan and grandfather Siṃhavarman. The illustrious Nohalā was born of Avanivarman and she became the beloved of the Kalachuri prince Kēyūravarṣa, i.e., Yuvarājadēva I. Queen Nohalā is stated to have endowed a temple of Śiva with the villages of Vīḍā, Poṇḍī, Khailapāṭaka and others”.
Note: Poṇḍī and Khailapāṭaka, two of the gift-villages, are represented by the modern Pondi and Khailwara which are to the north-west and north-east of Bilhārī respectively. Vīḍā must be another village in the same locality.
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.
