India history and geography
Source: What is India: Inscriptions of the ŚilāhārasCāvināra (चाविनार) is the name of a village mentioned in the “Ṭhāṇā plates of Arikesarin”.—The first donated village Cāvināra is probably identical with Cāvindre, about 3.20 km. north of Bhivaṇḍī, the chief place of the Bhivaṇḍī tālukā of the Ṭhāṇā District.
Accordingly, “... the village Cāvināra comprised in the viṣaya of Vareṭikā , the boundaries of which are as follows: On the east the village Pūagambā and the waterfall from a hill, on the south the villages Nāgāmbā and Mūlāḍōṅgarikā, on the west Sāmbarapallikā, on the north the villages Sāmbive and Kāṭiyālaka.”
These copper plates (mentioning Cāvināra) were found in digging for some works at the Fort of Tanna (Ṭhāṇā) the capital of Salset. The object of the present plates was to record the grant, by the Śilāhāra king Arikesarin, of three villages in the Vatsarāja-viṣaya to the family priest and teacher Tikkapaiya on the occasion of a lunar eclipse which occurred on the fifteenth tithi of the bright fortnight of Kārttika in the Śaka year 939.
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.
