Quick intro - I was brought up a hindu but never taught much. I am familiar with the practices and historical texts (Ramayan, Mahabharat, etc) but not with the principle meanings and messages of the religion. At 32, I am looking to learn more.

I've read the Bhagavat Gita but it's very focused on the path to enlightenment. I am interested in reading more of the core texts that define dharma and core principles of hinduism. Not sure what's the best place to start? Vedas, Purans, Upanishads? Which ones specifically?

Any suggestions?

thank you.
