Maha Shivaratri Mahotsavam

A Divine Celebration of Lord Shiva Through Unique Natural Linga Pratishthapana

A sacred annual celebration of Lord Shiva marked by night-long worship, abhishekam, bhajans, annadanam and the extraordinary tradition of creating a new Natural Linga every year.

A Distinctive Tradition of Natural Linga Creation

Sri Jyotirvastu vidyapeetam, Fasalwadi, Sangareddy celebrates Maha Shivaratri every year with deep devotion, Rudrabhishekam, Shiva Nama Smarana, bhajans, annadanam and powerful night-long spiritual programs.

The unique hallmark of this celebration is the annual creation of a new Natural Linga using sacred natural materials. Each form offers devotees a rare darshan while expressing the truth that Lord Shiva exists throughout nature and the universe.
