Full description

Hinduism is famous for its accommodation of numerous gods. But multiplicity is a marker of this religion in other aspects as well, one of which is cosmogony (theory of the creation of the cosmos). From its earliest scriptures (the Vedas) to the later and more developed mythological texts (the epics and the Puranas), Hinduism presents a stunning plethora of creation stories, de facto rendering the question “What is the creation story in Hinduism?” unanswerable in any satisfactory manner.
