Garud Puran Sankshipt is an abridged (sankshipt), illustrated Hindi edition of the Garuda Purana published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur.

The Garuda Purana is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas and is widely known for its sections describing the soul's journey after death, funeral rites, and related dharmic teachings; this condensed edition presents the purana's key portions along with illustrations, rather than its complete unabridged text.

Usage: This book is commonly kept in the home for reference reading, and portions of it are often read aloud following a death in the family as part of the customary post-funeral reading period.

Ritual/Occasion Context: Reading from the Garuda Purana is traditionally associated with the period of mourning and the rites performed after a death (such as the terahvin/shraddha period), and it is also read at other times as part of general scriptural study.
