India history and geography
Source: academia.edu: The Chronological History of Ancient Sri LankaAccording to Chulavamsa, Viravikrama became king in the year 2085 of Buddha Varsha i.e. 320 CE. Culavamsa also tells us that Viravikrama had surrendered his bliss of royal dignity and sojourned to northern town of Madhura (Mathura) and settled there. When the Cholas occupied Anuradhapura on 332 CE in the northern Sri Lanka and Viravikrama migrated to Mathura, Mayadhanu, a descendant of Surya Vamsa founded his kingdom in Gangasiripura close to the harbor of Kolamba (Columbo). His son Rajasimha I succeeded him.
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.
