Recognizing Mahashivaratri

Contact: Chaplain Ineda Adesanya

The Office of Spiritual and Religious Life acknowledges the celebration of Mahashivaratri Feb. 17-18.

Hindus celebrate the deity Shiva. The celebration starts at sunset and continues until sunset the following day. This is the longest night of the month. Shiva is honored for their “dynamic cosmic dance creates, preserves, destroys and recreates the world.”
