Prominent Guests to Attend
The all-night event will commence at 6 PM on February 26 and conclude at 6 AM the following morning. Several high-profile guests, including Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, governors from various states, and Union ministers, will be present.

Mahashivratri and the Story of Ravana
Renowned Bharatanatyam dancer and Sadhguru’s daughter, Radhe Jaggi, has revealed that this year’s celebration will include a special storytelling segment on Ravana.
She stated, “Many people only recognize Ravana as the villain of the Ramayana. However, in Indian culture, characters are not seen as entirely good or entirely evil. Ravana is a prime example—while he was greedy, lustful, and power-driven, he was also one of the greatest devotees of Lord Shiva.”
