India history and geography
: Knowledge Traditions & Practices of India: Architecture (1): Early and Classical Architecture (h)Ganges civilization.鈥擭early a millennium after the Indus civilization had collapsed, the Ganges civilization arose in the first millennium BCE. Among the first cities to emerge in the Ganges plains from about 800 BCE were Mathura, Kanyakubja (modern Kanauj), Kau艣膩mbi and V膩r膩峁嘺s墨 (Benares) in today鈥檚 Uttar Pradesh, R膩jag峁沨a (Rajgir) and Vai艣al墨 in Bihar. But this urban development extended beyond the Ganges valley, as testified by Tak峁艣il膩 (Taxila, today in northern Pakistan), Ujjayin墨 (Ujjain, in Madhya Pradesh) or 艢i艣up膩lgarh (probably the ancient Kali峁単anagar, near Bhubaneswar in Odisha).
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.
