Shiv Puran is one of the Puranas and has an important place in the Hindu religion. It depicts various avatars that lord Shiva took and the roles that he played for the betterment of society.
The Shiva Purana also known as shiv puran is an ancient religious text that is devoted to the Hindu god of destruction, Shiva. The Puran is originally thought to have consisted of 1, 00,000 verses spread over 12 chapters.
However, the existing text, after abridgement from Sage Vedavyasa, consists of 24,000 verses only. It is said that Vedavyasa taught the verses to his disciple Lomaharshana (also known as Romaharshana) who later recited it to sages that wanted to expand their knowledge of Lord Shiva.
