ABOUT THE BOOK
The eighteen Puranas are counted among the foundational texts
of Hinduism. The holy trinity of Brahma as the creator, Vishnu as
the preserver and Shiva as the destroyer play a central deities of
the Puranas and feature in the narratives. The Puranas where
creation themes feature prominently are identified with Brahma
(Brahma, Brahmanda, Brahmavaivarta, Markandeya). Puranas where
Vishnu features prominently are identified as Vaishnava Puranas
(Bhagavata, Garuda, Kurma, Matysa, Narada, Padma, Vamana, Varaha,
Vishnu). Puranas where Shiva features prominently are identified as
Shaiva Puranas (Agni, Lings, Shiva, Skanda, Vayu).
The Brahma Purana is so named because it was originally recounted
by Brahma. It is described as Adi Purana in several Purana texts,
underlining its importance. Odisha and the temples in that region are
a key component of the text.
