Indian Philosophy and Aesthetics

In Buddhism, the community of monks, nuns, and lay followers is known as the Samgha (or Sangha).

The Three Jewels (Ratnatraya) of Jainism are Right Faith (Samyak Darshana), Right Knowledge (Samyak Jnana), and Right Conduct (Samyak Charitra). 'Right intentions' is not one of the three.

The first Buddhist council was held at Rajagriha (modern-day Rajgir) shortly after the death of the Buddha.

Mahavira and Gautama Buddha were contemporary figures who founded Jainism and Buddhism, respectively, in the 6th century BC. These movements emerged as significant religious reforms during that period in India.

Kalidasa was a Classical Sanskrit author who is often considered ancient India's greatest playwright and dramatist. His famous works like Abhijnanashakuntalam were written in Sanskrit.

Rajatarangini, written by Kalhana in the 12th century, is a historical chronicle of the kings of Kashmir.

The National Calendar of India is based on the Saka Era, with Chaitra as its first month.

There were 23 Tirthankaras before Mahavira. In Jainism, a Tirthankara is a human being who achieves liberation and enlightenment as an Arihant by destroying all of their soul. The first Tirthankara was Rishabha, who is credited with formulating and organising humans to live in a society harmoniously. The last Tirthankara was Mahavira. 

Religion associated with Kaivalya is Jainism. In the concept of Kaivalya, the Hindu attitude of not expecting the fruits of labor as preached by Sri Krishna in the Geeta, is reflected. As in the Hindu concept of Moksha, Kaivalya is attained in Jainism as a 'release from the cycle of rebirth' when the soul is free from attachment of all material things. 

The four-fold division of society is mentioned in Purusa-sukta of Rig Veda. Purusha sukta is hymn 10.90 of the Rigveda, dedicated to the Purusha, the Cosmic Being. According to the Srimad Bhagavatam, the seer of this verse is Rishi Narayana and this sukta is potent enough to rouse God-experience in the seeker. 

Saga Dawa is a significant festival in Buddhism, celebrating the birth, enlightenment, and death of Gautama Buddha.

Buddhism is the major religion in Sri Lanka, practiced by the majority of the population, particularly the Sinhalese community.
