India history and geography
Source: Yale Journal of Music & Religion: Ritual Music in Contemporary Brahmanical Tantric Temples of KeralaPiṣārikāvu (पिषारिकावु) is the name of an ancient Śākta temple dating from ancient Kerala—Some of the medieval royal temples where Śākta worship was performed have been, over time, Brahmanized, while many of the previous ritual practices are still followed. [...] Other Śākta temples, such as the Māṭāyikāvu and Piṣārikāvu, still follow the Śākta system known as Rurujit Vidhāna, and the priests belong to specific non-Brahman groups who perform rituals.
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.
