The Vamana Purana is one of the eighteen major Puranas of Hinduism. It is named after one of the incarnations of Vishnu and probably was a Vaishnavatext in its origin³. The Vamana Purana consists of 10,000 verses and is dedicated to the Vamana Avatar of Lord Vishnu¹. The surviving Vamana Purana is more of a Shaivite text with more focus on Shiva¹.
All the Puranas give glimpses of Indian civilization and culture and Vamana Purana is no exception. It also teaches the virtue of righteousness and religiousness. Vamana Puran not only contains the divine tales of Nara-Narayana and Goddess Durga but it also contains tales of famous devotees like Prahlad, the salvation of Gajendra (elephant) etc.²
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
