General definition (in Hinduism)
: archive.org: Vedic index of Names and SubjectsAvata (अव�, “well�), a word occurring several times in the ṻ岹, denotes a well, artificially made (khan ‘to dig�) in contrast with a spring (utsa), though the latter expression is also applied to an artificial well. Such wells were covered by the makers, and are described as unfailing (ṣiٲ) and full of water. The water was raised by a wheel (cakra) of stone, to which was fastened a strap , with a pail (ś) attached to it. When raised it was poured (ñ) into buckets (屹) of wood. Sometimes those wells appear to have been used for irrigation purposes, the water being led off into broad channels.
India history and geography
: Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionaries: Indian Epigraphical GlossaryĀٲ.�(IE 8-5), same as ٲ, storm; cf. udٲ. (EI 32; CII 3; etc.), a fiscal term referring to the income from lands as a result of changes caused by natural agencies; an income probably resulting from storms. See ٲ, probably meaning ‘a storm or tempest�; also 屹ٲ-aya. Note: 屹ٲ is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary� as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.

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.
