India history and geography
Source: Yale Journal of Music & Religion: Ritual Music in Contemporary Brahmanical Tantric Temples of KeralaTāyampaka refers to music played during ritual processions in temples in Kerala, South India.—Ritual music ranges from sacred compositions in which silence dominates over sounds, to very soft and intimate songs sung, to extremely loud and powerful compositions played by big ensembles during festivals.—Compositional forms such as the processional ceṇṭa mēḷams, pañcavādyam, and other forms played standing, such as keli, kuḻal pāṭṭu, kompū pāṭṭu, and tāyampaka, are performed in the fourth enclosure (bāhyahāra) or outside temples. They are considered as offerings and are ritually important, but at the same time they are also played to entertain the devotees during festivals.
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.
