India history and geography
Source: DSpace at Pondicherry: Siddha Cult in Tamilnadu (historical)Swāmi Siddhānanda was born at Vaṇḍipāḷayam village, near Cuddalore. He lost his father in his young age and grown under the care of his mother, who engaged in the business of selling flowers and supplying garlands to the Pātalīśvara temple at Cuddalore. Every year on the death anniversary of Sāmi Siddhānanda, the Gurupūjā is celebrated in this Samādhi shrine with pomp and glory.
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.
