India history and geography
Vaḍamana is the name of a tank that was situated in the Upalabijaka district: a locality that existed in the ancient kingdom of Anurādhapura, Ceylon (Sri Lanka).—The Vaḍamana tank is corresponds to present Pālu-mākiccāva, near the 65th mile on the Anurādhapura-Trincomalee road, granted to Thūpā-rāma by Gajabāhu I (114-136).
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.
