Overview
Shiv Mahapuran Katha for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
सर्वमङ्गलमाङ्गल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके।
शरण्ये त्र्यम्बके गौरि नारायणि नमोऽस्तु ते॥
