The purāṇas are an important genre of Hindu literature.1 Together they constitute an authoritative archive—cosmogony and cosmology, theology and mythology as well as orthodoxy and orthopraxis—for Hindu traditions. Many important narratives relating to the deities Viṣṇu–Kṛṣṇa, Śiva and the great goddess Devī are found in their most authoritative form in purāṇic texts. These narratives—along with the two epics, the Mahābhārata and the Rāmāyaṇa—form the beating heart of Hindu identity and imagination. To be Hindu is to have internalised this purāṇic thought-world.Traditionally, there are said to be eighteen great purāṇas and an equal number of lesser ones, although the membership of each category varies from one source to another. In addition, there are probably thousands of local purāṇas, ancient and modern, in Sanskrit and vernacular languages, which preserve accounts of specific sacred sites, communities and religious practices.
