Live from Varanasi, India, on Sunday, February 15, as millions gather for the grand procession through the city during Mahashivaratri celebrations.

Believers take holy dips in the Ganga on the sacred night dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Mahashivaratri, or the ‘Great Night of Shiva,’ is a major Hindu festival symbolising the triumph of light over darkness. Observed for centuries, the festival draws pilgrims from across India to perform rituals, chant hymns and honour the divine.
