Padma Puran (Padma Purana) is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas of Hindu tradition, and among its largest, published in this Hindi edition by Gita Press, Gorakhpur.

The text takes its name from the cosmic lotus (padma) described in its opening sections and covers an extensive range of subjects including creation, the geography of sacred regions, dharma, and devotional material connected especially with Vishnu, alongside Shiva and other deities.

Usage: Given its size, this edition is generally used for extended scriptural study or as a long-term puran-path undertaken over weeks, and readers often refer to specific sections most relevant to their interest.

Ritual/Occasion Context: Reading or listening to a Purana is traditionally regarded as a meritorious practice, and the Padma Purana in particular is commonly read during Chaturmas as part of a structured, extended reading schedule.

Publisher: Gita Press, Gorakhpur. Language: Hindi (not explicitly stated, standard for this publisher). Edition/volume/page details: Not Available.
