Hindu scriptures

Topic

Hindu scriptures are a vast and diverse body of historical literature and manuscripts associated with the various traditions of Hinduism. They are broadly classified into Shruti (revealed texts, such as the Vedas and Upanishads) and Smriti (remembered texts, including the Epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana, and the Puranas). These sacred texts serve as the foundational source of spiritual authority, philosophy, and mythology for Hindus.
