India history and geography
Source: Wikipedia: India HistoryVarāhanarasiṃha (वराहनरसिंह) is the name of a temple situated in Halasi—a town in Khanapur Taluk, Belgaum District in Karnataka, India. The town is notable for a series of medieval temples. The most famous are the Varāha Narasiṃha temple and Suvarṇeśvara temple in the town, and a third temple of Rāmeśvara. Traditions noted in the nineteenth century ascribe the construction of the Varāha-narasiṃha temple to Jakhnācāraya. This appears to refer to the popular hero Amarashilpi Jakanachari. Inside the temple there are two garbhagṛha chambers facing each other. In the right one is the deity of Lord Śrī Viṣṇu in a sitting posture. The deity of Sūryanarāyaṇa and Mahālakṣmī are just behind the main deity. The chamber on the left side has the deity of Bhūvāraha Svāmi, lord Viṣṇu’s Varāha avatar, where he carries Mother Earth (or Bhūdevī) on his tusk. Just outside the main temple are smaller temples dedicated to Gaṇeśa, Śiva and Viṭṭhala. One statue of Radha Krishna [rādhākṛṣṇa] can also be seen in a smaller shrine.
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.
