India history and geography
Source: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami TempleKaṇvatīrtha (कण्वतीर्थ) refers to one of the Tīrthas (“sacred water-bodies”) mentioned in the Anantapuravarṇana, a short poem of the fourteenth century CE from Kerala talking about the Thiruvananthapuram temple.—Though most of the text is written as a glory of Padmanābha, we also find interesting facts related to the day-to-day activities that take place in the city of Tiruvanantapuram. This poem also mentions certain tīrthas in Tiruvanantapuram, including Indratīrtha, Bhṛgutīrtha, Agnitīrtha, Varāhatīrtha and Dakṣiṇagaṅgā, Kaṇvatīrtha, Somatīrtha, Rāmatīrtha, Anantatīrtha and Īśānatīrtha (verses 15–19).
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.
