Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studyUlkānavamīvrata (उल्कानवमीव्रत) or simply Ulkānavamī refers to type of Vrata (“religious observances”), according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, this Ulkānavamīvrata is stated in the Saurapurāṇa 50.26ff1. Goddess Pārvatī becomes pleased very quickly by the observance of Ulkānavamīvrata. This vrata is observed on the ninth tithi of bright fortnight in the month of Āśvina. Ninth tithi is very dear to Pārvatī as she killed the great demons like Mahiṣāsura etc on this day.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.
