History is related to space, place or locality. It must have a physical basis and be rooted in the soil. In the early stages man's history was primarily the creation of geography. It is a recognized fact that geography exercises considerable influence on the evolution of history, culture, trade and commerce of a region. The development of civilization in a large measure is based on geographical setting and the climatic conditions of a particular region. Men and nature have for long been so interacted that the results are no longer separable. It is, therefore, natural that both historical and ecological explanations are required of living beings. These two types of explanations are not opposed to each other. In view of this, it would not be inappropriate to study the geography, topography and geology of the ancient kingdom of Panchala which occupies an important position in the history and culture of the country.
