India history and geography
Source: Cracow Indological Studies: Venerating Vēṭṭaykkorumakan (Son of Śiva and Pārvatī) through Ritual ArtsSopānasaṅgītam refers to the “singing of songs set to musical notations”.—The rituals that are performed on a regular basis in the temples of Kerala are unique in their nature, since they move the devotees not only by appealing to their devotion, but also to their senses, through the actions and movements executed by the performer of the ritual (or the priest) as part of the ritual. [...] The singing of songs set to musical notations (sopānasaṅgītam) and to the playing of a small drum called ‘ iḍaykka’, taking place just in front of the sanctum show the importance given to music—and to hearing—in Kerala temple rituals.
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.
