Brahma-purana

The Brahma-purana is one of the traditional 18 major Puranas in Hinduism. These texts are encyclopaedic collections of myths, legends, and genealogies, written in a narrative style similar to the great Sanskrit epics. The Brahma-purana is primarily devoted to the god Brahma, who is revered as the creator of the universe and the revealer of the sacred Vedas.123

Traditionally, Puranas cover five subjects: primary and secondary creation, genealogies of gods and patriarchs, the reigns of the Manus, and the history of solar and lunar dynasties. They also discuss customs, ceremonies, festivals, caste duties, and the construction of temples and sacred places. While Brahma is a central figure in creation myths, his worship is rare, and he has few dedicated temples, unlike Vishnu and Shiva.213
