Hello @aaryesdee ,

Thanks for sharing this interesting post with us!

I’ve never heard about this festival, and it sounds very interesting. The statue of Shiva looks amazing with the moon. Is it popular to have a Shiva statue in the cities? Does it have a special meaning that the yoga studios are working between 06:00 pm to 06:00 am?
