The SÄtavÄhana lineage (known as Andhra in the PurÄṇas) once ruled much of the Deccan region and several of the AjantÄ caves at West-Khandesh (West-Khaṇá¸eÅ›a, modern Jalgaon) were carved in the 3rd century BCE when the region was ruled by kings (e.g., Gautamiputra ÅšÄtakarṇi) and descendants of the SÄtavÄhana kings. Gautamiputra ÅšÄtakarṇi was preceded by ÅšivasvÄti and succeeded by PulumÄvi III (VaÅ›iá¹£á¹hiputra).

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.
