Samhita

Samhita refers to the foundational texts of ancient Indian sacred literature, primarily composed of hymns, prayers, and mantras. These texts form the core of the Vedas, which are among the oldest and most authoritative scriptures in Hindu tradition. The Samhitas contain ceremonial chants and praises dedicated to deities, used in rituals and religious ceremonies. They serve as a spiritual guide and cultural record, capturing the religious beliefs, social values, and linguistic style of early Indian civilization. Overall, Samhitas are essential for understanding the spiritual and historical heritage of India.
