India history and geography
: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri鈥檚 Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Reptiles were commonly depicted on the Sa峁僺膩racakra paintings (representing scenes of animal life ), in ancient India, as mentioned in the Kath膩s (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanas奴ri in his 8th-century Kuvalayam膩l膩 (a Prakrit Camp奴, similar to K膩vya poetry).鈥擯age 185.21 f.: Here follows a description of a printed scroll illustrating the Jaina conception of 蝉补峁僺腻谤补肠补办谤补. [...] The 蝉补峁僺腻谤补-肠补办谤补 illustrated the three worlds of hell, human world and the world of gods. [...] The animals, reptiles, insects and birds described as locked in mutual engagements create a very strange atmosphere of their buoyant life and activities; and Uddyotanas奴ri deserves credit for creating such a motif in a painted scroll in the 8th century A.D.
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.
