   • The Padma Purana starts with the Srishti Khanda, which describes Lord Brahma's creation of the cosmos and goes into detail on the nature of time, the genesis of the universe, and the cycle of yugas (ages).

   • The Bhumi Khanda describes sacred geography, listing several tirthas (holy sites) in India, their spiritual importance, and the benefits of going on pilgrimage. For followers who are looking for moksha, or liberation, it serves as a spiritual guide.

   • The Patala Khanda and Swarga Khanda guide readers through worlds beyond Earth, such as heaven and the underworld, explaining the cosmic order, celestial beings, karmic consequences, and the significance of righteous deeds.

   • Much of the Padma Purana is devoted to the worship of Lord Vishnu and his incarnations, with extensive chapters covering Rama and Krishna, the significance of fasts such as Ekadashi, and the potency of Nama Japa (chanting the divine name).

   • The Uttara Khanda, which promotes Vaishnava ideology, places a strong emphasis on devotion (bhakti) and provides advice on spiritual practices, obligations of various life stages (ashramas), and how one can achieve liberation through love and submission to God.
   • The Padma Purana is unique in that it also tells tales of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, encouraging harmony between Shaivism and Vaishnavism. It is a valuable katha book that combines divine teachings, cultural traditions, rituals, and mythological tales with a spiritual focus.
