Shiv Puran

The rite

Shiv Puran path is reading from the scripture of Shiva's lilas and teachings, usually in phased sessions at home. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma selects adhyayas appropriate to your time and vow.

Time at the house: About 2–3 hours per session; full puran many visits

Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.

Why families book it

Story chapters allow narrative pauses—children may join listening segments. Incense light; Shiv puran rarely needs homa in flats.

Monday evening paths should finish before 10 pm in most Bengaluru societies; split long adhyayas across two visits rather than rushing Sanskrit.

Share your lift access and parking notes on WhatsApp so repeated Monday visits stay on schedule across Bengaluru traffic.

When families ask
