India history and geography
: academia.edu: The Cakrasamvara Tantra (h)骋峁沨补诲别惫补迟腻 (啶椸啶灌う啷囙さ啶むぞ) is the name of an ancient locality identified with 鈥淟iyul (which may refer to Khotan)鈥� according to N膩rop膩da (11th century A.D.).

: Sreenivasarao鈥檚 blog: Kashi the city of lightsGrihadevata or Kuladevata refers to 鈥渇amily deities鈥�.鈥擳he age of Puranas introduced into the Vedic religion many concepts that were not in the Samhita and the Brahmana texts. Those ideas and concepts have since taken a firm hold on the Indian ethos. These include faith in: a personal god or goddess (Ista-devata); family deities (Griha-devata or Kula-devata) who had to be propitiated on specified days in the prescribed manner; vows (vrata); and pilgrimages etc. In the process, legends were developed for each major pilgrimage-center, proclaiming its holiness and its pre-eminence over the rest; and also detailing the merits to be gained by devotedly worshiping its presiding deities.
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.
