In Hinduism
Shilpashastra (iconography)
The Rising (of the Sun) is associated with the time of Dawn, and follows specific guidelines of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—In the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, the rules of Painting of different classes have been elaborately discussed. The time of uṣā i.e., dawn when the sun is about to rise. It seems to be a beautiful source of Painting. The picture of this time is associated with the rising of the sun, dim lamps and cocks in crying mood. [...]. Thus the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa establishes the fact that even in the pictures; the people belonging to different class and profession [e.g., the rising of the sun] were projected with specific attire so that general people can equate the picture with the practical character.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
Yoga (school of philosophy)
The “Rising (upwards) of a sound in the heart”, is denoted by the Sanskrit term Anāhata, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] By means of an absorption for two Palas (i.e., twelve breaths), a sound in the heart rises up (uccalana). [The Yogin] should recognize it to be the unstruck sound and should not fix his mind on it. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
India history and geography
Rising refers to one the twelve kingdoms (thams) of Magarat, the ancient homeland of the Magars, the Tibeto-Burman ethnic group native to Nepal and Northeast India.—The Magars are one of the oldest known tribes in Nepal. Their ancient homeland was known as Magwar Bisaya, later called Magarat. This region bordered from Marsyangdi river to the Pyuthan area during that time. The Magars prospered at such a level during that period that this part of the country was divided into twelve kingdoms (e.g., Rising)—each under its own ruler—the members of each supposedly being of common extraction in the male line.
Rising refers to one of the Chaubise or “twenty-four principalities (hill states) of ancient Nepal”.—Following successive waves of the Muslim invasion of India launched by Mohammed of Ghanzi c. A.D. 999, immigrant Hindu chiefs from Rajasthan are said to have made their way into the hill areas of western Nepal. Over a period of time they carved out principalities for themselves and their progeny in the area which was largely inhabited by various indigenous tribes. Those principalities in the Gandaki region of central Nepal [e.g., Rising] were known as the Chaubise. Most of these kingdoms lay entirely in the hills, but a few of them had land either in the tarai, the lowland plains adjoining what is now Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.
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.
