What is Rig Veda?
Rig Veda is the oldest of the four Vedas and is a large collection of hymns that praise Gods. There are 1028 hymns in the Rig Veda segregated into ten books called the Mandalas (circles). There are suktas or hymns in each mandala. There is linguistic and philosophical evidence that suggests Rig Veda is among the oldest existing texts in any Indo-European language.
