Rig Veda

The Rig Veda is one of the oldest sacred texts of India, composed around 1500–1200 BCE. It is a collection of ancient hymns, prayers, and chants dedicated to various gods, reflecting early spiritual beliefs, rituals, and cosmic understanding. Written in Sanskrit, it serves as a foundational document for Hindu tradition and provides insights into ancient Indian society, religion, and worldview. The Rig Veda's poetic hymns are used in rituals and offer a window into humanity’s earliest attempts to understand and connect with the divine.
