India history and geography
: archive.org: Rajatarangini (Ranjit Sitaram Pandit) (history)Srinagar (鈥渢he city royal鈥�) or 艢r墨nagara is the name of an ancient city of Kashmir mentioned by Kalha峁嘺.鈥擜ccordingly, Kalha峁嘺 composed his historical poem in the middle of the 12th century, in the age when the Crusaders of Europe were fighting in Western Asia. He saw kings who rode to Srinagar in the centre of a cavalcade of steel-clad horsemen escorted by the R膩japutras, to whom the sword-hilt was familiar since childhood, and followed by intriguing courtiers, priests, bards and lovely women with 鈥渕oon-like faces鈥�. He tells us that the capital owed its name to 艢r墨nagar墨, the city founded in the remote past by the great A艣oka, the Constantine of Buddhist India. He describes the environs of this unique city of the East and mentions its landmarks, the 艢膩rik膩parvata (Harparvat) and the Gopa Hill (Gupkar) surmounted by the ancient temple of Jye峁ａ弓ha Rudra, now known as 艢a峁卥ar膩c膩rya. Numerous towns, temples, shrines and monasteries are mentioned by him including the glorious sun-temple founded early in the eighth century by king Kalit膩ditya.
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.
