India history and geography
Vatthupāla (वत्थुपाल) (or Vastupāla in Sanskrit) is the name of a minister, as is mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Accordingly, “Vastupāla had a statue of Rsabha and one of Puṇḍarīka carved. [...] Vastupāla erected a temple dedicated to Nemi. [...] Vastupāla built the Sittumjāvayāra temple, the pavilions of the Aṭṭhāvaya and the Saṃmea and the temples of Yaksa Kavaddi and the goddess Marudevī”.
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.
