Maha Mrityunjaya Jayanti
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
The great death-conquering mantra was revealed on this day. Death is not the end but a doorway. The Mrityunjaya mantra doesn't grant immortality of body but reminds you of the immortality you already are.
