To save the world from cosmic annihilation, Lord Vishnu takes on his second avatar, that of the Kurma, or the tortoise. The Kurma Purana is one of the eighteen classic Hindu texts known collectively as the Puranas. The origins of the Kurma Purana can be traced back to 600 to 900 CE, and we encounter Indradyumna, Varaha, Devi, Vyasa, and the divine presence of Shiva in this text as we delve into the deep and nuanced tale of one of the greatest Hindu legends.
The seventh book in the Purana series, this translation of the Kurma Purana by Bibek Debroy is an attempt to bring to readers, the rich and layered history of our myths and classics.

Previous books in the series include the Bhagavata Purana, Brahma Purana, Markandeya Purana, Brahmanda Purana, Vishnu Purana and the Shiva Purana.
