India history and geography
: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami Templeղīٳ (वराहतीर्�) is the name of a sacred place mentioned in the ԲԳٲśⲹԲṣeٰٳⲹ, a text talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple in eleven chapters, written before the 14th century and claiming to be part of the Brahmāṇḍapurāṇa.—Pleased by Divākara’s devotion, Viṣṇu appears before him as a radiant young child. [...] The sage repeatedly pleads with the boy to appear from the hollow where he had disappeared. Divākara meditates there, visualising Viṣṇu in the form of Anantapadmanābha. Suddenly the huge tree is transformed into the form of Padmanābha lying on a serpent along with his attributes. [...] The middle part of his body is on the southern side of the ղīٳ and west of the Padmatīrtha (the present location of the Tiruvanantapuram temple).

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.
