Divisions Sama vedic Yajur vedic Atharva vedic Vaishnava puranas Shaiva puranas Shakta puranas The Shiva Stuti (Sanskrit: शिवस्तुतिः, romanized: Śivastutī), is a famous stuti (poem) composed by Narayana Panditacharya in praise of the deity Shiva written in the Prithvi metre.

[3] The Shiva Stuti consists of 13 verses and is recited daily or on special festivals like Maha Shivaratri by Hindus.

[4] According to legend, Narayana Panditacharya is believed to have travelled to the Rameshwaram Temple, when the doors were closed.

After chanting this hymn, the doors are believed to have opened of their own will, and the author is said to have received a darshana (auspicious vision) of Shiva.

[1][5][2][6] The authorship of the Shiva Stuti is attributed to Narayana Panditacharya, a poet-saint who lived in the 14th century CE.
