The procession is covering an impressive distance of approximately 35,000 km over 60 days, concluding its journey back at the Isha Yoga Center.

The 30th annual Mahashivratri festival, to be held on March 8th, promises to be a grand affair, taking place in front of the majestic 112 feet tall Adiyogi at the Isha Yoga Center in Coimbatore. The festival will also be broadcast live at 36 locations across Tamil Nadu, ensuring devotees everywhere can partake in the festivities.
