This book aims to complement the work of Pargiter regarding the Cultural plane. Pargiter was interested in the dynastic records and Puranic texts, while this book interprets “cultural history” from Vayu Purana. The work is divided into ten chapters, which are arranged in a systematic way. The first five chapters are about intellectual culture, while the last five deal with material culture. It was a lot of work translating and interpreting the Puranic text to present material. There are two appendices to the work and a critical introduction. Appendix A lists the tribes and places. Appendix A describes the pilgrimage centres. Introduction reviews the research done so far on the Puranas and the Vayu in particular. It discusses the antiquity and cultural significance of the Vayu as well as the methods used in this investigation. It also provides an overview of political history as it is described in the Vayu Purana. This book is not only valuable for Indian Culture but also for critical editions of Vayu and, consequently, other Purana material.
