The literary text Manusmriti describes Brahmavarta (Sanskrit: ब्रह्मावर्त, romanized: Brahmāvarta) as the region between the rivers Sarasvati and Drishadvati in India. The text defines the area as a holy land whose inhabitants set the standards for morality and conduct for the rest of the world to follow.[1] The name has been translated in various ways, including "holy land", "sacred land",[2] "abode of gods", and "the scene of creation".[3]
The precise location and size of the region has been the subject of academic uncertainty.[4] Some scholars, such as the archaeologists Bridget and Raymond Allchin, believe the term Brahmavarta to be synonymous with the Aryavarta region.[5]
