The Godavari river, which flows through central India, was not mentioned in the early Vedic texts but was later celebrated in Hindu texts.

1028 hymns are in Rig Veda.

The varna system was a hierarchical social structure that classified people based on their occupations and where they were born. The Brahmins were the priestly class who performed religious rituals and were in charge of knowledge transmission. The Kshatriyas were the warrior class who protected the society and engaged in warfare. The Vaishyas were the merchants who engaged in trade and commerce, while the Shudras were the labourers who did menial tasks

The Vedic civilization arose in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent, near the confluence of the Indus and Saraswati rivers. In the later Vedic period, the Ganges river, which flows through northern India, was also an important river.

The warrior class, the Kshatriyas, were expected to protect society and engage in warfare. They were also in charge of enforcing the law and keeping society in order. While some Kshatriyas may have worked in agriculture or trade, war was their primary occupation.
