The Vedic age is not demarcated in historical time but a phase in the socio-cultural development as Aryans who migrated from the European regions to settle in the Indus region.
Vedic Age evolved with the knowledge of Vedic oral traditions as a philosophy of life, in every righteous aspect, discipline and system in a civilized society in sync with the elements of nature.
The changes in the Aryan tradition began with the offshoot of the Avesta and then decline during the Brahaminical Gupta period with the modification of the Vedic essence to variations in rituals & deities worship adopted by the Brahmins. Trace elements of Vedic philosophy was adopted in later stages of Brahaminical era as Vedas written as treatise for convenience, and erroneously believed today to be the Aryan tradition.

The Upanishads are generally considered to have been composed during the later Vedic period, which is often associated with the Iron Age in India, roughly between 800 and 200 BCE. While they reflect the philosophical and spiritual developments of this time, they also incorporate earlier Vedic traditions. Thus, while they emerged during the Iron Age, their roots and influences extend back to the Bronze Age Vedic texts.
During the Vedic Age, the Dravidian and Aryan cultures blended through interactions between migrating Aryan tribes and the indigenous Dravidian populations in the Indian subcontinent. This fusion led to the integration of languages, religious practices, and social structures, as the Aryans introduced the Vedic texts and rituals, while Dravidian traditions contributed to local customs and agricultural practices. The result was a complex cultural tapestry that laid the foundation for subsequent Indian civilization, including the emergence of diverse regional identities and the caste system. This blending also facilitated the evolution of early Hinduism, incorporating elements from both cultures.
Brahman, in the context of Aryan civilization and the Vedic Age, refers to the ultimate reality or cosmic spirit in Hindu philosophy, central to Vedic texts. The Aryans, who migrated to the Indian subcontinent, brought with them the Vedic traditions that emphasized rituals, hymns, and philosophical inquiries into the nature of existence, including the concept of Brahman. This period saw the development of important spiritual and social structures, including the caste system, which linked to the understanding of Brahman as both immanent and transcendent, influencing various aspects of Indian thought and culture. Thus, Brahman serves as a philosophical foundation that emerged from the intersection of Aryan religious practices and the evolving spiritual landscape of the Vedic Age.
There are different views where the Aryans originated fromone is widely believed they originated from Central Asia.The Aryans settled in the area around the seven rivers(Sapta Sindhu)between 1500 BC and 1000 BC.They named this land 'Brahmavarta'or the 'Land of the Gods'.This period is known as the Early Vedic Period.
