The Shiva Purana is part of the Purana collection in Hinduism, one of the eighteen key texts in Sanskrit literature, specifically belonging to Shaivism. It centers around the Hindu deities Shiva and Parvati, while also paying homage to all other gods. This text explores Shiva-centric cosmology, mythology, relationships between deities, ethical teachings, yoga, pilgrimage sites (tirtha), devotion (bhakti), rivers, geography, and various other topics. Offering valuable historical perspectives on the diverse forms and theological aspects of early Shaivism in the early 2nd millennium CE, the Shiva Purana features chapters that intertwine Advaita Vedanta philosophy with elements of devotion (bhakti).
