About this app

The word Puranas (Sanskrit: पुराण) literally means "ancient, old", and it is a vast genre of Indian literature about a wide range of topics, particularly myths, legends, and other traditional lore. Composed primarily in Sanskrit, but also in Tamil and other Indian languages, several of these texts are named after major Hindu deities such as Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi. The Puranic genre of literature is found in both Hinduism and Jainism.

The Puranic literature is encyclopedic, and it includes diverse topics such as cosmogony, cosmology, genealogies of gods, goddesses, kings, heroes, sages, and demigods, folk tales, pilgrimages, temples, medicine, astronomy, grammar, mineralogy, humor, love stories, as well as theology and philosophy. The content is highly inconsistent across the Puranas, and each Purana has survived in numerous manuscripts which are themselves inconsistent. The Hindu Puranas are anonymous texts and likely the work of many authors over the centuries; in contrast, most Jaina Puranas can be dated and their authors assigned.

There are 18 Maha Puranas (Great Puranas) and 18 Upa Puranas (Minor Puranas), with over 400,000 verses. The first versions of the various Puranas were likely composed between the 3rd- and 10th-century CE. The Puranas do not enjoy the authority of a scripture in Hinduism but are considered a Smriti.

Agni Puran, Bhagavata Puran, Brahma Puran, Brahmanda Puran, Brahmavaivarta Puran, Garuda or Garun Puran, Kurma Puran, Linga Puran, Markandeya Puran, Matsya Puran, Narada Puran, Padma Puran, Shiva Puran, Skanda Puran, Vamana Puran, Varaha Puran, Vayu Puran, Vishnu Puran are 18 Maha Puranas.

Garuda or Garun Puran is most read puran in India and also Shiv Puran and Vishnu Puran also read wildly in Indian culture. Agni Puran, Bhagavata Puran, Brahma Puran, Brahmanda Puran, Brahmavaivarta Puran, Kurma Puran, Linga Puran, Markandeya Puran, Matsya Puran, Narada Puran, Padma Puran, Skanda Puran, Vamana Puran, Varaha Puran, Vayu Puran are the Purans which are often chosen by the Spiritual scholars.

They have been influential in the Hindu culture, inspiring major national and regional annual festivals of Hinduism. Their role and value as sectarian religious texts and historical texts have been controversial because all Puranas praise many gods and goddesses and "their sectarianism is far less clear cut" than assumed, states Ludo Rocher. The religious practices included in them are considered Vaidika (congruent with Vedic literature) because they do not preach initiation into Tantra. The Bhagavata Purana has been among the most celebrated and popular text in the Puranic genre and is of non-dualistic tenor. The Puranic literature wove with the Bhakti movement in India, and both Dvaita and Advaita scholars have commented on the underlying Vedantic themes in the Maha Puranas. Puran in Hindi translation is easy way to read puran at ease.
