India history and geography
Source: Google Books: Geography from Ancient Indian Coins & SealsKāmpilyanagara or Kampillanagara is the name of an ancient capital of Southern Pāñcāla.—The Mahābhārata mentions Ahicchatrā as the capitcal of Northern Pāñcāla, the river Bhāgīrathī forming the dividing line between the Northern and Southern Pāñcāla. However, the Divyāvadāna and the Kumbhakāra-jātaka mention two different capitals of Northern Pāñcāla, the former refers to the city of Hastināpura while the latter to the city of Kampillanagara. Kāmpilyanagara (or Kampillanagara), however, was the capital of Southern Pāñcāla.
Note: Kāmpilya is identified with Kāmpil on the Gaṅgā between Badaun and Farrukhabad, while Ahicchatrā is identified with modern Ramnagar near Aonla in the Bareilly District.
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.
