India history and geography
Source: What is India: Epigraphia Indica volume XXXI (1955-56)Yajñavaṭatīrtha or simply Yajñavaṭa is the name of a sacred place, as mentioned in the “Ghūmlī plates of Bāṣkaladeva” (989 A. D.). Bāṣkala is stated to have made the grant after taking a bath in the Yajñavaṭa-tīrtha at a holy place called Piṇḍatāraka. There is a kuṇḍa near the temple at Piṇḍārā and this may be the Yajñavaṭa-tīrtha mentioned in the inscription.
This inscribed copper plate (mentioning Yajñavaṭatīrtha) was found in the course of digging operations at Ghūmlī in the former Navanagar State. The date corresponds to the 22nd April, 989 A.D. and it records the grant of a village made by Rāṇaka Bāṣkaladeva surnamed Kuṃkumalola, for the merit of his parents, in favour of a Brāhmaṇa.
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.
