In a landmark spiritual announcement for the capital, the Shri Kedarnath Mandir Trust, Delhi, under the leadership of Shri Surendra Rautela, National President of the Trust, unveiled plans for Delhi’s unique Shiv Mahapuran Katha, a seven-day grand celebration dedicated to Lord Shiva. The event will take place from 17 November to 23 November at DD Ground, Miyanwali Nagar, Paschim Vihar, Delhi, under the divine guidance of Param Pujya Niranjan Peethadheeshwar Shri Shri 1008 Acharya Mahamandaleshwar Swami Kailashanand Giri Ji Maharaj.
Swami Kailashanand Giri Ji is a highly revered Hindu spiritual guru, saint, yoga guru, and an eminent scholar and writer proficient in Hindi, English, and Sanskrit. As the Acharya Mahamandaleshwar of the Niranjani Akhara, he is one of the most respected authorities in India’s spiritual tradition, known for his deep knowledge of Hindu scriptures and contributions to Sanatan Dharma.
The announcement was made at a press conference held at New Maharashtra Sadan, K.G. Marg, New Delhi, in the presence of senior media representatives, spiritual followers, and members of the organising committee.
Addressing the gathering, Swami Kailashanand Giri Ji Maharaj said, “The Shiv Mahapuran Katha is not just a narration of divine stories, but a path to awakening one’s inner consciousness.

The seven-day spiritual celebration is expected to witness a daily gathering of over 4,000 to 5,000 devotees. This marks the first time such a grand spiritual event is being organised in Delhi, where alongside the Katha, there will be divine and magnificent cultural performances including Nataraja Nritya, Sati Katha, Ganga Avataran, Mridang Sadhana, and Shankhnad.
