Shiv Ratri '26
Join us on February 15th 2026 in the IVS Varanasi Ashram


Celebrating Shiv Ratri '26
We are delighted to invite you to join us for Shiv Ratri ’26 on February 15th in the temple of the ashram of the International Vedanta Society in Varanasi. On this auspicious occasion, we come together for the purpose of devotion, purification and century old sacred rituals in honor of Lord Shiva.
Rudravishekam
The highlight of the day will be the auspicious Rudravishekam in the main ashram. This powerful Vedic ritual — offered to Shiva with mantra, water, milk and sacred offerings — is a heartfelt expression of devotion and love for Him.
There are two opportunities to participate: at 9 AM and again at 7 PM, allowing everyone present to be part of this blessed experience.
Whether you come seeking spiritual inspiration, inner stillness, or to deepen your connection with Lord Shiva, Shiv Ratri at our ashram is a moment to pause, immerse in mantra, and connect with the Divine.
All are welcome to join us
