In the light of evidence like this it is probable .that Shiva worship preceded the Sanatana Dharma in the South and Shiva was a living person, ho moved out of the south during a Tsunami towards the Arctic where the Rig Veda was composed.
Please read my article Shiva worship precedes Sanatana Dharma
Now the remains of a Yogi in Padmasana with Gyan Mudra was found in Harappa and it is dated being 2700 years old.
During my professional Life, I have covered India extensively and had partaken food with the local people in Kashmir,Punjab,Bengal,Odisha, Gujarat, MP, UP , not to mention the southern states.
What struck me was the essential food habits are the same, right from offering water first to the householder eating later.
Major difference is that in the Northern States Wheat is consumed in place of Rice.
(Rice is consumed more in the Southern States of Kerala, Tamil Nadu,Karnataka, Andhra,and in th East Bengal and Odisha.)
Yet for Religious ceremonies Rice is being used and the vegetables that are used all over the country for important ceremonies like Sraddha remain the same.
