Vedic Culture
Vedic Culture refers to the ancient civilization that emerged in the Indian subcontinent around 1500 BCE, primarily associated with the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism. This culture is characterized by its rich traditions in philosophy, spirituality, and rituals, which laid the foundation for many aspects of Indian society, including religion, art, and governance.
The Vedic period is marked by the development of the Sanskrit language and the establishment of social structures, such as the varna system, which categorized society into different classes. Additionally, Vedic rituals and practices, including sacrifices and hymns, played a crucial role in connecting the people with the divine and understanding the cosmos.
