Maha Shivaratri Celebrations, 12th Feb'10 at Nithyananda Vedic Temple , Redmond

Shivaratri is the night of Lord Shiva! It is one day you simply have to be present at Vedic Temple, the home of the most magnificent Nataraja! Most importantly His Presence is continuously felt in the temple and more so during Shivaratri! Lord Shiva is described as "ashutosha", meaning easily pleased. Just for our sincerity, love & devotion he showers his blessings on us!

Vedic Temple had grand celebrations for Shivaratri with rudra abhishekams performed during different kalas, bhajans, siva jagaran, grand alankarams and special puja. The day witnessed tremendous participation from the community.
