Hindu epics are ancient texts that narrate the stories of gods, heroes, and moral lessons. The two most significant epics are the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The Mahabharata focuses on the conflict between two families, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, while the Ramayana tells the tale of Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and his battle against the demon king Ravana. These epics are not just stories; they also explore themes of duty, righteousness, and the nature of life. They are integral to Hindu culture and philosophy, influencing art, literature, and religious practices throughout history.
