The International Gita Mahotsav 2025 is a weeklong festival that will start on the day of Gita Jayanti, which falls on December 1 this year.

 

 

This will be celebrated mainly in Kurukshetra in Haryana State.  The Bhagavad Gita is believed to be delivered by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in Kurukshetra. Srimad Bhagavad Gita has, since its inception, been the philosophical guide and spiritual teacher for Hindus. In the Gita, Lord Krishna has taught numerous lessons to Arjuna, which are considered to be ideal means of living one’s life.
