India history and geography
Source: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami TempleSyānandūrapura (स्यानन्दूरपुर) is the ancient name for Thiruvananthapuram, according to the Syānandūrapuravarṇana-prabandha by Svāti-Tirunāḷ (a ruler of Travancore) which deals with the different activities of the Thiruvananthapuram Padmanabhaswamy Temple, including its festivals, need a special mention. The fourth chapter, Kṣetravarṇana, is named Kṣetramāhātmya and the glory of Lord Padmanābha is enumerated in detail. While we do not find many details of the subsidiary deities in the other māhātmyas that we have discussed, this text of Svāti-Tirunāḷ praises them, too, and this description matches well with the subsidiary deities that one may see today in the Tiruvanantapuram temple. The same chapter also highlights the glory of the Tiruvanantapuram or Syānandūrapura in several verses (4.1–17).
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.
