Rig Veda (English spelling)
One of the four Vedas, the holy books of ancient Indian Brahmanism. Rig means "hymn." In the Brahmanic tradition, the Rig belongs to the hotṛ priests, who invite the gods to the ceremonial grounds and praise them during rituals. It was compiled over a period of several hundred years, mainly around 1200-1000 BC. The Samhita (main collection) of the Rig Veda is a compilation of ṛṛc, or hymns to the gods, and as the oldest document in India, it is considered the most important document for understanding the religion of ancient India.
