Siva Puranam is the story of Lord Siva or Lord Shiva who is believed to reside in a place called Kailasa.

It tells about the great deeds of Lord Siva and presents the mystical aspects of saivaite belief apart from giving an insight into the philosophical aspects of Siva worship. It also contains extensive stories about different events in India and the world. It is not unjustified to say that in spite of the mythological aspect of the book, it serves as a reference to historians as well, as it contains stories of kingdoms, dynasties, places and worship practices which may have been based on actual events.

There are different versions which includes Sanskrit as well as Tamil Versions. Though the accounts differ in many ways, the central theme remains the same.
