Puranic texts

Puranic texts are ancient Indian scriptures that detail the stories, histories, myths, cosmology, and teachings of Hinduism. They often recount the lives of gods like Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi, along with legendary kings and epic events. These texts serve to preserve cultural traditions, explain moral principles, and explore spiritual concepts through engaging narratives. While they are rich in symbolism and myth, they also offer philosophical insights and religious guidance, making them a vital part of Hindu religious practice and cultural heritage.
