Brahma Purana, one of the major eighteen Puranas, is a Hindu religious text. It is divided into two parts, namely the Purva Bhag (former part) and the Uttar Bhag (later part). The first part narrates the story behind the creation of the cosmos, details the life and deeds of Rama and Krishna. The second part contains the details about the Purushottam Tirtha, which is one of the holy places. Brahma Purana is a Mahapurana in which the Raja gunas prevail.
