Skanda Purana Volume 1 to 23

The Skanda Purana (Volume 1 to 23) is a monumental and authoritative multi-volume edition of one of the largest and most revered among the eighteen Mahapuranas. Part of the prestigious Ancient Indian Tradition and Mythology series, edited by Prof. G. P. Bhatt and other eminent scholars, this comprehensive set presents the original Sanskrit text with critical annotations and English translation. It serves as an indispensable reference for scholars, researchers, and serious students of Hindu scriptures, offering a reliable and scholarly gateway to one of the most extensive works in Puranic literature.
Dedicated primarily to Lord Skanda (Kartikeya), the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati, the Skanda Purana encompasses a vast range of spiritual, cultural, and philosophical subjects. It elaborates on sacred geography, pilgrimage sites (Tirtha Mahatmyas), temple traditions, cosmology, rituals, and the principles of dharma. The text glorifies major holy centres such as Kashi, Kedarnath, Badrinath, and Jagannath Puri, while also presenting profound teachings on devotion, ethics, and spiritual discipline. Studying this monumental scripture deepens scriptural knowledge, strengthens devotion, and provides invaluable insights into the religious, historical, and cultural heritage of Sanatana Dharma, making it an essential addition to any serious spiritual or academic library.
