India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India] Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the west, and the Bay of Bengal on the east, India borders Pakistan to the west;  China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Bangladesh and Burma (Myanmar) to the east. India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka, the Maldives, and Indonesia in the Indian Ocean. Home to the Indus Valley Civilization and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history. Four major world religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism originated there, while Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam arrived in the first millennium AD and shaped the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by the British East India Company from the early eighteenth century and colonised by the United Kingdom from the mid-nineteenth century, India became a modern nation state in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by widespread nonviolent resistance.

Kaliya, in Hindu mythology, was the name of a poisonous [[Naga|Nāga]] living in the Yamuna River, in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh, India[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliya], and therefore the "Caves of Kaliya" seems an appropriate name for some caverns chock full of cobras.

Shiva is the supreme God in the Shaiva tradition of Hinduism. In the Smartha tradition, he is one of the five primary forms of God. One temple dedicated to Shiva that is on the banks of the Ganges (in a former part of Uttar Pradesh called Uttarakhand) is the Rudreshwar Mahadev Temple[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudreshwar_Mahadev_Temple].
