Skanda Purana<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Skanda Purana is one of the eighteen major Puranas of Hinduism. It is a vast text, divided into 81 chapters, and is named after Skanda, the Hindu god of war. The Skanda Purana contains a wealth of information on a variety of topics, including Hindu cosmology, mythology, philosophy, and ritual.<\/p>\n<p>One of the chapters of the Skanda Purana, the Harivamsa Parva, is devoted to the history of the Kurukshetra War. In this chapter, the region of Haryana is mentioned as being called &#8220;Hariyali&#8221;. The name &#8220;Hariyali&#8221; means &#8220;greenery&#8221; or &#8220;lushness&#8221;, and it is likely that this name was given to the region because of its fertile land and abundant vegetation.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect. The Vamana Purana is a Hindu text that deals with the life of the dwarf god Vamana. The Prithvi Purana is a Hindu text that deals with the goddess Earth. The Purana Katha is a collection of stories from the Puranas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Vamana Purana&#8221; option2=&#8221;Prithvi Purana&#8221; option3=&#8221;Purana Katha&#8221;
