Vedic-Puranic chronology
The Vedic-Puranic chronology, or Hindu chronology, gives a timeline of Hindu history according to the Hindu scriptures. Two central dates are the Mahabharata War at 3139 BCE, and the start of the Kali Yuga at 3102 BCE.
==Hindu scriptures==
The Puranas contain stories about the creation of the world, and the so-called yugas. Mahabharata, Ramayana and the Puranas also contain genealogies of kings, which are used for the traditional chronology of India's ancient history. Michael Witzel doubts the reliability of these texts, concluding that they "have clearly lifted (parts of) lineages, fragment by fragment, from the Vedas and have supplied the rest () —from hypothetical, otherwise unknown traditions— or, as can be seen in the case of the ''Mahābhārata'', from poetical imagination."
Gavin Flood connects the rise of the written Purana historically with the rise of devotional cults centring upon a particular deity in the Gupta era: the Puranic corpus is a complex body of material that advance the views of various competing cults. Wendy Doniger, based on the study of indologists, assigns approximate dates to the various Puranas. She dates Markandeya Purana to c. 250 CE (with one portion dated to c. 550 CE), Matsya Purana to c. 250–500 CE, Vayu Purana to c. 350 CE, Harivamsa and Vishnu Purana to c. 450 CE, Brahmanda Purana to c. 350–950 CE, Vamana Purana to c. 450–900 CE, Kurma Purana to c. 550–850 CE, and Linga Purana to c. 600–1000 CE.
