Description The Bhavishya Purana is the eleventh among the Puranas and it contains four parts. The first part contains a description of the genesis, greatness of the deities and worship of Lord Vishnu, Shiva and Surya. Second, third and fourth parts describe about the greatness of Shiva, Vishnu and Surya respectively. Like other Puranas, Bhavishya Purana also contains a description of the ancient kings and Chandra and Surya dynasties. The four parts include 216, 62, 100, and 208 chapters. The specific appeal of this Purana is that it narrates incidents that will occur in the future, as well as accounts that happened in the distant past. This volume 6 covers chapters 184-207. This volume contains elaborate description of the significance of each days of the fortnight, beginning with the first, or pratipada. And of course, there are stories to illustrate whatever is being explained and in this volume, there is the very interesting story of how lord Brahma’s fifth head was severed and for what reason.
