Hindu mythology is a large body of traditional narratives related to Hinduism as contained in Sanskrit literature (such as the epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana; the Puranas; and the Vedas); Ancient Tamil literature (such as the Sangam literature and Periya Puranam); several other works; most notably the Bhagavata Purana; claiming the status of a Fifth Veda and other religious regional literature of South Asia. As such; it is a subset of mainstream Indian and Nepali culture. Rather than one consistent; monolithic structure; it is a range of diverse traditions; developed by different sects; people and philosophical schools; in different regions and at different times; which are not necessarily held by all Hindus to be literal accounts of historical events; but are taken to have deeper; often symbolic; meaning; and which have been given a complex range of interpretations.
