Short description: Hindu invocation to Shiva
Hara Hara Mahadeva (Sanskrit: हर हर महादेव, romanized: hara hara mahādēva) is a Sanskrit invocation in praise of the Hindu deity Shiva.[1][2] The invocation consists of two epithets of Shiva, hara and mahadeva. It is generally chanted by adherents during auspicious occasions, such as prayer and entering a Shiva temple.[3]
The invocation was chanted by the legendary queen Padmini and tens of thousands of women when they performed the practice of jauhar to save their honour from Alauddin Khalji.[4]
