Brahma Purana
- Scope & Content:
-
The Brahma Purana is listed as the first Mahapurana in all the anthologies and therefore also called Adi Purana. Its name is misleading and apocryphal because the extant manuscripts have nothing to do with Hindu god Brahma, and are actually just a compilation of geographical Mahatmya or travel guides and sections on diverse topics.
