Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 65

एवं महोत्सवो जज्ञे तत स्तुंबुरुपूर्वकैः । गीयमानेषु गीतेषु यथापूर्वं त्रिविष्टपे

FAQs

A tīrtha-centered dharmic event is so sanctified that it mirrors heavenly celebration—suggesting the site’s extraordinary merit.

The same sacred kṣetra of the chapter is celebrated; the excerpt does not provide the proper name of the tīrtha.

No direct prescription; it describes gandharva-led singing as an auspicious accompaniment.
