Purana
Puranas are ancient Indian texts that serve as comprehensive repositories of cultural, religious, and historical knowledge. They contain stories about gods, goddesses, creation, cosmology, legends of heroes, moral teachings, and traditions. Often written in poetic form, Puranas aim to preserve and transmit spiritual beliefs and cultural heritage across generations. They are considered important scriptures in Hinduism, offering insights into theology, philosophy, and social values, while also providing storytelling that makes complex ideas accessible to a broad audience.
