In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: Acta Orientalia vol. 74 (2013): Historical sequence of the Vaiṣṇava DivyaśKūṭal (Maturai) refers to one of the 108 Vaishnava Divya Desam (徱ⲹś or divyasthalas), located in the topographical division of Malaināṭu (“hill Country�), according to the 9th century Nālāyirativviyappirapantam (shortly Nālāyiram).—Tradition would record the Vaiṣṇava 徱ⲹś or divyasthalas are 108. The 徱ⲹś is a base of the cult of Viṣṇu in Viṣṇuism [Vaiṣṇavism] tradition. The list of 108 [viz., Kūṭal] seems to have reached maturation by about the early 9th century CE as all the ś are extolled in the hymns of the twelve Āḻvārs.

Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu�).
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: Shodhganga: Temples and cult of Sri Rama in TamilnaduKutal refers to one of the 108 divyadesas according to Priyavaccan Pillai’s compendium of the Ramayana based on the Nalayirativviyappirapantam.—Kutal is the venue of Kutal Alakar Temple that is on the south-western corner of the Minakshi Temple. The temple has been reported in the studies of Raju Kalidos (‘Temple Cars� 1989) and R.K.K. Rajarajan (East and West, Rome 1998).

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
India history and geography
: academia.edu: Minor Chiefs and "Hero" in Ancient TamilakamKūṭal is a name related to the historical geography and rulers of ancient Tamil Nadu, occuring in Sangam literature such as the Akanāṉūṟu and the Puṟanāṉūṟu.—Notes: Ālavāy, Maturai (Puṟam. 58), cf. Nācciyār Tirumoḻi (4.1-11), see Tiruviḷaiyāṭa� Purāṇam of Parañcōti (Rajarajan & Jeyapriya 2013: chap. II).

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.
