Rig Veda

Structured metadata for the hymns of the Rig Veda

📖 Books & WordsUNMONITORED
AUTH NONECORS ✓AGENT ?HTTPS ✓COMMERCIAL ?

Turns the Rig Veda's corpus of Vedic hymns into queryable JSON: which gods are praised, which poets composed the verses, and which metrical patterns they follow. Endpoints slice the material by mandala, deity, poet, meter or category, with an expanded mode for hymn-level detail. It runs on a free Render instance, so the first request after an idle period may cold-start before later calls settle around one second.
