Kalika Purana, Early Assam, Religion, History

The Kalika Purana occupies a unique position in the sacred and secular literature of the Hindus. It is regarded as the most important source material to reconstruct the history of Early Assam. This text serves as the key to the proper understanding of the various aspects of Hinduism, i.e. Saktism-its beliefs, modes of worship, mythology, festivals, feasts, and fasts etc. Moreover, the work helps to know about the sacred shrines and places of pilgrimage, its philosophy and ethics and theology. But in using it, a modern historian should be able to disentangle legendary, fictitious or mythological material from the purely historical and cultural data. The present study is an attempt to develop a clear and critical understanding of the religious history of Early Assam as reflected in the Kalika Purana and also to explore the geographical description as refer in the Kalika Purana as well as the authenticity of the text as a source to reconstruct the history of early Assam.
