India history and geography
The Ṭhākurī Kings of Nepal.—Between the Licchavis, who last appear in the epigraphical record in 737, and the Malla kings, who ruled from 1200–1768, lies the relatively obscure period of the so-called Ṭhākurī kings. These too, though predominantly Śaiva, supported Buddhist institutions. Only one, Siṃhadeva (r. 1110–1126), has been declared paramasaugataḥ; but several of the monasteries of the Kathmandu valley are attributed to kings of this period in inscriptions, palm-leaf deeds, manuscript colophons, or their own tradition.
We have very little evidence for the reigns of these Ṭhākurīs, but what there is suffices to remove any suspicion that they were Buddhists to the exclusion of Śaivism. According to the local chronicles Guṇakāmadeva made lavish donations to the temple of Paśupati, Śaṅkaradeva established a temple of a Śiva with his name (Śaṅkareśvara), and Śivadeva gilded the roof of the temple of Paśupati, replaced the god’s silver lotus, and donated a golden image of Śiva.
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.
