India history and geography
Source: Wisdom Library: Skanda-purana (history)Veṅkaṭādri (वेङ्कटाद्रि) or Veṅkaṭācala is the name of a mountain and represents the seventh ridge of the Tirupati Hill—The Veṅgaḍam (Veṅkaṭam) of Vaiṣṇava Alvārs (Saints) is the name of the seventh ridge of the Tirupati Hill in the Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh. It is situated at 13° 41" North Latitude and 79° 24" East Longitude. The hill is 2820 feet above sea level. It is an extension of the Eastern Ghats. The hill consists of seven peaks. These are supposed to be the seven hoods of Ādiśeṣa, the mythological serpent who supports the earth. The other six peaks (rather ridges) are designated as Śeṣācala, Vedācala, Garuḍācala, Añjanācala, Vṛṣabhācala and Nārāyaṇācala. The main deity Śrī Veṅkaṭeśvara is on the seventh ridge (Veṅkaṭācala).
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as 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.
