Cultural Festivals & Spiritual Celebrations
At our Centre, art is not merely a performance but a pathway to the divine. We invite you to experience our vibrant community festivals, where traditional music, dance, and theatre become offerings in a space of quiet reflection.

About this collection
Our celebrations are open to everyone, creating a shared space where silence meets rhythm. Whether you are joining us for the night-long Sivaratri vigil, the vibrant Ramana Aradhana, or our monthly Pournami gatherings, you will find an environment that invites you to step away from the daily rush and immerse yourself in a tradition of gratitude and art.
We believe that music, dance, and theatre are not just skills to be mastered, but forms of sadhana (spiritual practice). Every festival we host at our Heritage Auditorium or the Shrine at Mekhri Circle is an opportunity to turn attention inward, aligning with the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi.
Our Festivals
We mark the calendar with events that bring the community together:
- Sivaratri: A night-long observance featuring continuous bhajans, puja, and classical dance offerings.
- Ramana Aradhana: A multi-day confluence of arts, celebrating the grace of our Guru through Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and musical renditions.
- Pournami: Monthly full-moon gatherings that include group singing and collective meditation.
- Sthapana Day: Annual celebrations marking the establishment of our centre, featuring laksharchana and traditional discourses.
A Shared Experience
These events are not exclusive to students of our centre. We welcome families, seekers, and art lovers from across Bengaluru. While our stage hosts professional-grade theatre productions and performances, the intent remains humble. We see these presentations as an offering, and you are welcome to witness them, participate in the singing, or simply sit in the quiet atmosphere of our campuses. Whether you are looking for classical music concerts, thematic dance dramas, or a space to celebrate traditional Indian festivals, our doors are open.
