Abstract:
Mah¡puranas are great scriptures which always caused humans wonder and evoked their thought process. Even today, there is almost no topic of science which has not been discussed by the Puranas. Geography is one among them. Without the earth, Puranas have no relevance, so does life itself. It shall not be wrong to state that Geography existed even in pre-historic human societies in the form of questioning about and examining the earth and phenomena surrounding it, long before it has touted as a science in modern human history. Though the science of the earth is a predominant topic of discussion in all the Vedas, Itihasas and Puranas the ancient scholars did not attempt to call it a science, dedicate distinct chapters and form titles denoting it. Because they did not view themselves, all other living and non living creatures separated from the nature. They viewed everything as one contrary to the modern humans. Still there are titles such as Bhuvanakosa, Bhuvanavarnana, Bhuvanavinyasa which are straight away denominates the earth.
