India history and geography
: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri’s Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Narendrakalā (नरेन्द्रकल�) is a synonym of Dhātuvāda (“the art of making artificial gold�), representing one of the various Siddhis (powers) practiced in ancient India, as mentioned in the Kathās (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).—Page 191.28-32: We get some details about Dhātuvāda (p. 195), i.e., the art of making artificial gold, being practised in a secluded part of the Vindhya forest. [...] It is said that the assembled Dhātuvādins or alchemists were failing in their attempt. Prince Kuvalayacandra tried his own knowledge and succeeded in the making of gold. It appears that one of the epithets of the Dhātuvādins was Narendra, maning a master of charms or antidotes. The word is also used in this sense in classical Sanskrit literature. Dhātuvāda is also called Narendrakalā (Ṇariṃdakalā, 197.16).

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.
