What is Shiv Mahapuran Katha?
Shiv Mahapuran Katha is a programme in which a kathavachak recites and explains the Shiva Purana over several days, commonly seven or nine. The katha covers the greatness of Shiva, the stories of Sati and Parvati, the Jyotirlingas and the path of devotion.
Each day includes puja of the text and Shivling, the katha with bhajans, and aarti. Many programmes also include Parthiv Shivling puja or Rudrabhishek, and conclude with a havan and bhandara.
It can be organised at home, in a temple or in a hall, and is especially popular in Varanasi, the city of Lord Vishwanath.
Significance
The Shiva Purana is one of the major Puranas and is devoted to Lord Shiva. Hearing it with devotion is traditionally regarded as highly meritorious for devotees and their families.
Holding the katha in Shravan or around Maha Shivratri brings together two of the most important observances for Shiva devotees.
सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके।
