INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Every year, the Hindus commemorate Maha Shivaratri, also known as Mahasivaratri in Sanskrit, as a holiday in honour of the god Shiva
The term also alludes to the night when Shiva is thought to dance the Tandava, a celestial dance
Every luni-solar Hindu month has a Shivaratri, or "night of Shiva," which is observed the night before the full moon
This night, known as "Maha Shivaratri" or "the great night of Shiva," is celebrated once a year in late winter and just before the start of
summer (February or March)
It is also believed to be the holy occasion when Lord Shiva got married to Goddess Parvati.According to the North Indian Hindu calendar,
this day is in the month of Phalguna, while according to the South Indian Hindu calendar, it is in the month of Magha
Shaiva Hindus mark this night as "overcoming darkness and ignorance" in one's life and the world through Shiva, hence the celebration
includes keeping a jagaran, an all-night vigil, and praying
Shiva is offered fruits, leaves, sweets, and milk
Some people also worship Shiva in tantric or Vedic ways, while others practise contemplative yoga
Shiva's Panchakshari mantra, "Om Namah Shivaya," is recited throughout the day in Shiva temples
Devotees honour Shiva by reciting the hymn known as the Shiv Chalisa
It is believed that anyone who offers the bel patra (leaves of bel plant) to Lord Shiva on this day, attains his blessings.Read AlsoWhen is
