    Hindu literature developed over many centuries in India and can be divided into two main periods. During the early period, major works were religious texts written in Sanskrit and Prakrit languages. These included scriptures like the Vedas and Upanishads as well as the great Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. The later period saw the rise of more secular works covering diverse topics like poetry, drama, fiction, and scientific treatises. Key characteristics of Hindu literature include its emphasis on spiritual themes, moral philosophy, and different forms of divine and human love. Famous authors across both periods contributed classics to various genres.
