The Matsya Purana contains the knowledge imparted to Vaivasvata Manu by Vishnu in the Matsya Avatar. Some of the issues not covered in the other Puranas are the treatises on Hindu architecture and Hindu sculpture. Later the Matsya Purana was narrated by the sage Lomaharshana to the august gathering in the forest of Naimisharanya. It has 14,000 verses divided into 291 chapters. The Matsya Purana is regarded as a tamasik Purana because of its focus on rituals, as the sections on architecture and sculpture show.
