India history and geography
Source: archive.org: Geography in Ancient Indian inscriptionsIndrapura (इन्द्रपुर) or Indrāpura.—The place has already been referred to under the title, Candrapura (p. 66). The name occurs in Indor grant of Skandagupta. The inscription records the perpetual maintenance of a lamp in a temple of the Sun at Indrapura.
Source: archive.org: Personal and geographical names in the Gupta inscriptionsIndrapura (इन्द्रपुर) is another name for Candrapura or Candrāpura: a place name ending in pura mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. This Indrapura is the same as modern Indor, near Dibhāi, Bulandshahr district, Uttar Pradesh. The ancient town of Indrapura was situated on a large and lofty mound about five miles to the north-west of Dibhāi. 260 Now-a-days it is only a kheḍa or deserted mound, and is not shown in maps.
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.
