Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
India history and geography
Source: What is India: Annual Report on Indian Epigraphy (1945-1952)Udaypur is an archaeologically important site situated in Tripura, known for inscriptions regarding the ancient history of India. For example, at Udaypur there is a damaged Sanskrit inscription on the gate (above the door) of the temple called Mahādeva-bārī. It is transcribed imperfectly in the Śilālipisaṃgraha.
This inscription belongs to king Kalyāṇamāṇikya of the Kings of Tripurā dynasty and is dated Śaka 1572.
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.
