देवी देवतांची स्तुती करताना म्हणावयाच्या रचना म्हणजेच स्तोत्रे. स्तोत्रे स्तुतीपर असल्याने, त्यांना कोणतेही वैदिक नियम नाहीत. स्तोत्रांचे पठण केल्याने इच्छित फल प्राप्त होते. In Hinduism, a Stotra is a hymn of praise, that praise aspects of Devi and Devtas. Stotras are invariably uttered aloud and consist of chanting verses conveying the glory and attributes of God. Stotras are the type of popular devotional mainly Sanskrit literature and are not bound by the strict rules as some other Hindu scriptures, such as the Vedas. Stotras are accessible by the everyday householder, in the form of chant.
