The Purana gods, one page each

The gods of the stories, from the epics and the eighteen great Puranas to the temples of today: Shiva, Vishnu and the Goddess at the centre, and around them the sons, the avatars and the gods of one place. Each page follows its god back to his Vedic roots where he has them.
