What is written in Kalikapurana?

The Kalikapurana, a revered text in Shaktism, is a captivating exploration into the world of Goddess Kali. It's one of the eighteen Upa-Puranas, though its significance and depth have earned it a standalone status. This ancient scripture is dedicated to popularizing the worship of Shakti, particularly the revered Mother Goddess Kamakhya.

A Journey Through the Kalikapurana

The Kalikapurana is divided into two primary sections. The first half delves into the cosmic dance of creation and destruction, narrating the epic tale of Sati and Shiva, their separation and reunion. It's here that the identity of Mahamaya as the Goddess Kamakhya is established, along with the intriguing myth of Naraka and the curse imposed on Kamakhya by Vasistha.

The second half of the Kalikapurana is a detailed guide to the rituals and practices associated with Goddess worship. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the sacred geography of Kamarupa, highlighting its hills, rivers, and revered deities.
