Abstract
One of the ancient and rich literatures of India is the Vedic literature which possesses immense religious and historical importance. Vedic literature not only outlines the numerous Hindu rituals and ceremonies which have been observed by the people from the Vedic Age but also the different philosophy which forms the basis of Hinduism. Through Vedic literature, we come to know about the social, political and economic organization of the Aryan Civilization and it is the main source of understanding ancient Indian literature. In this paper, a study has been made to know about the rich literary works of Vedic literature without which our knowledge about the Aryans and their philosophy and its importance in Indian history would have been incomplete.
