[...] The saṃsāra-cakra illustrated the three worlds of hell, human world and the world of gods. [For example:] Birth ceremony attended by auspicious rites and music; parties of dancing and singing men and women taking part in birth celebrations.
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.
