Hindu Mythology

Hindu mythology encompasses a vast array of stories, deities, and epics central to the Hindu faith and culture. Key texts include the Vedas, Upanishads, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana. Prominent deities like Brahma (the creator), Vishnu (the preserver), and Shiva (the destroyer) represent different aspects of life and cosmic order. Themes of dharma (duty), karma (action and its consequences), and moksha (liberation) are prevalent. Myths often illustrate moral lessons, cosmic cycles, and the interplay between divinity and humanity, contributing to the rich tapestry of beliefs and practices in Hindu culture.
