Overview
Shiv Mahapuran Katha for families in Dashashwamedh Ghat
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.
Dashashwamedh Ghat is one of the best-known ghats in Varanasi and is widely associated with the grand evening Ganga Aarti. Its name is traditionally linked to a legend of Lord Brahma performing the Dashashwamedh yagna here.
सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके।
शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते॥
Sarvamaṅgalamāṅgalye śive sarvārthasādhike, śaraṇye tryambake gauri nārāyaṇi namo'stu te.
