India history and geography
Source: archive.org: South Indian FestivitiesVaralakshmi Vratham.—The Hindu festival going by the name “Vara-Lakshmi Vratha” is celebrated on the last Friday of the bright fortnight in the month Ashada, called also Adi, which corresponds to the English month July-August. It is a festival to propitiate the Goddess Lakshmi, the consort of Vishnu, one of the Hindu Trinity. The name Vishnu really means “pervading everywhere”, and Lakshmi, his consort, is symbolical to represent the forces found everywhere. Eight forces or energies are recognised and they go by the names Sri (Wealth), Bhu (Earth), Sarasvati (learning), Prithi (love), Kirti (Fame), Santhi (Peace), Tushti (Pleasure) and Pushti (Strength). Each one ot these forces is called a Lakshmi and the eight forces are called the Ashta-Lakshmis or the eight-Lakshmis of the Hindus.
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.
