Brihannaradiya Purana

The Brihannaradiya Purana (also Brihannarada Purana) is focussed on the bhakti of Vishnu. It describes the festivals and ritual ceremonies of Vaishnavism. Many chapters of the text are part of Mahatmya glorifying river Ganges, pilgrimage and travel centers such as Prayag (meeting point Yamuna and Ganges) and Banaras (the holy city of Hindus). The text also includes chapters on ethics and duties of Varna and Ashramas, vrata and summaries on Sanskara (rite of passage).
