The Vendidad is a collection of ancient texts that form part of the Zoroastrian religious tradition. It is primarily a legal and ritual text, outlining laws, moral guidelines, and religious practices for followers of Zoroastrianism. The Vendidad is considered one of the most important texts in the Avesta, the sacred scripture of Zoroastrianism. The text is divided into sections that address various topics, including purity laws, the creation of the world, and the battle against evil. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining spiritual and physical cleanliness, reflecting the Zoroastrian belief in the constant struggle between good and evil, represented by the forces of Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu.
