Abstract

The two ancient civilizations of India and Iran have commonalities in the culture, language, myth, religion and art. The Indo-Aryan culture, more commonly known as the Vedic Culture, formed the essential core of Hindu religion and society. As the main focus of this study, mythological and beliefs vicinity can illustrate the relationship between these nations during the ancient time. The myth and ideology of the Vedas is clearly compared to the Aryans economic, social, and ritual customs in symbol of their cattle. Most of these myths are similar to the ancient Iranian myths in the sacrifices of cow and bull.
