  1. The figure known today as Khatu Shyam Ji is associated with Barbarika, a legendary warrior from the Mahabharata era, said to be the grandson of Bhima (one of the Pandavas) and son of Ghatotkacha.

    Regarding the Skanda Purana:

    The Skanda Purana is one of the largest Mahapuranas in Hindu tradition and is not a single fixed text, but a compilation of multiple sections (Khandas) added over many centuries.

    Its oldest layers may date back to ~6th–8th century CE, but much of the text we have today, especially the regional versions (like those mentioning Khatu Shyam), are later interpolations, especially from the 12th century onward.

    On Khatu Shyam Ji / Barbarika in the Original Skanda Purana:

    Barbarika or Khatu Shyam Ji is not mentioned in the oldest versions of the Skanda Purana (i.e., pre-10th century versions).

    The name "Khatu Shyam" and his worship in Khatu, Rajasthan, became prominent much later, with regional devotional traditions, folklore, and Bhakti movement literature (around 11th–14th centuries).

    What might be confused as evidence:

    Some modern printed versions of Skanda Purana (especially those circulated in North India) have added chapters or khandas like “Barbarika Khanda”, but these are not part of the critical edition or older manuscripts.

    These interpolations are more devotional additions, not part of the core classical Purana.

    Conclusion:

    ❌ No, Khatu Shyam Ji / Barbarika is not mentioned in the original or oldest Skanda Purana manuscripts (810 CE or earlier).
