India history and geography
Source: Institut Français de Pondichéry: The Shaivite legends of KanchipuramKāñcipurāṇam, a text in Tamil dating back to the second half of the 18th century, narrates the various legends connected to Kāñcipuram (in Tamil Nadu)—one of the principal permanent seats of Hinduism where Vaiṣṇavism and Śaivism have co-existed since a very long time.—The Kāñcipurāṇam is attributed to the poet Civañan̠acuvāmi and was inspired from a Sanskrit Kāñcimāhātmya said to belong to the Skandapurāṇa. Though pan-Indian in its religious traditions, it is deeply rooted in and adapted to Kāñci and has ensured the transmission and popularity of the Śaiva tradition of Kāñci to the present day. It is summarized here in French and illustrated with photographs taken in the temples of Kāñcipuram and other sites of Tamil Nadu.
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.
