The Brahmanas are a collection of ancient Indian texts that provide commentary on the Vedas, primarily focusing on the proper performance of rituals and the symbolic meanings behind them. They are crucial for understanding the religious and societal practices of Vedic civilization and serve as a bridge between the Vedic hymns and the more philosophical Upanishads.
