India history and geography
Source: Heidelberg: Glory of the Tiruvanantapuram Padmanabhasvami TempleKāntalūrśālā (कान्तलूर्शाला) is the name of an ancient place which used to host a Vedic school, according to 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. It is noteworthy that this text mentions Kāntalūrśālā (verse 107), a place near Tiruvanantapuram where an ancient Vedic school was in operation. The poem concludes with the description of Viṣṇu’s ten incarnations.
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.
