Shiv Puran (Sankshipt) is an abridged Hindi edition of the Shiva Purana, published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur.

The Shiva Purana is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas of Hindu tradition, devoted to the greatness, forms and teachings of Lord Shiva. It includes accounts of Shiva's manifestations, his relationship with Devi Parvati, and narratives illustrating Shiva worship and philosophy. This condensed edition presents the Puran's principal stories and teachings in a shorter form than the complete multi-volume text, making it more approachable for regular reading.

Usage: This edition is generally read sequentially as a devotional and narrative text, either for personal study or as an introduction to the Shiv Puran before moving to a fuller edition. It is commonly kept as part of a household collection of Puranic literature.

Ritual/Occasion Context: Reading from the Shiv Puran is traditionally associated with the month of Shravan, Mahashivratri, and Mondays (considered auspicious for Shiva worship), as well as with general path (recitation) undertaken by devotees of Shiva.
