Skanda Purana - Khandam 6 (of 8) - Naagara Khanda - All 279 Adhyayas - Audio by P R Iyer

The Naagara-khaṇḍa is the 6th Khanda of the Skanda Purana consisting of 279 Adhyayas.

The Naagara Khanda of the Skanda Purana is a spiritually rich section that celebrates the sanctity of cities, temples, rivers, and pilgrimage sites across India, weaving together mythological tales, moral teachings, and devotional practices. It narrates the lives of sages like Viśvāmitra and Agastya, kings such as Triśaṅku and Hariścandra, and divine figures who interact with sacred geography—from the Gaṅgā river to shrines like Mahākāleśvara and Acaleśvara. Through vivid storytelling and tīrtha māhātmya (glorification of holy places), it guides devotees on the path of dharma, illustrating how physical spaces become vessels of spiritual transformation and cultural memory.
