What is Shiv Mahapuran Katha?

A multi day katha and recitation of the Shiva Purana, narrating the glory of Lord Shiva, often organised in Shravan or around Maha Shivratri.

A kathavachak narrates the Shiv Puran over several days or a shorter format, with daily Shiva puja, bhajans and a concluding havan.

Procedure, samagri & what's included

सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके।
शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते॥

Why Families Choose Varanasi for Shiv Mahapuran Katha

Kashi Vishwanath, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, makes Varanasi the most meaningful setting for a Shiv katha for many families. PujaKarma is not affiliated with the temple.

Experienced kathavachaks in the city narrate in Hindi with the traditional stories of Kashi woven in.
