India history and geography
: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami Temple䲹īٳ (चक्रतीर्�) 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. His head is positioned near a Tīrtha called Matsyaīٳ (Tiruvallam area, seven kilometres south of the Tiruvanantapuram temple), and his shoulders are close to the 䲹īٳ and Śaṅkhaīٳ.

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.
