The Puranas are the sacred Hindu texts, including the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
The word Purana 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. The Puranas are known for their intricate layers of symbolism depicted within the stories.
