Maha Shivaratri is a significant Hindu festival that honors the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti.   Most Hindus believe that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati united by marrying on this day. People in North India celebrate the day as the wedding anniversary of Shiva and Shakti. Shiva is said to have entered into deep thought after the death of Sati. Later, Sati reincarnated as Parvati and got married to Shiva.   Another story revolves around the great night of Shiva when Lord Shiva consumed poison produced during Samundra Manthan, or the churning of the ocean, as the poison was so powerful to destroy the whole world.

Link for Government of India Web site: https://onoe.gov.in/index   After Independence, One Nation and One Election concept was very much in vogue till 1967. Lok Sabha and State Assembly Elections were held simultaneously in the years 1951 - 52, 1957, 1962 and 1967 and this cycle was distrupted due to premature dissolution of State Assemblies in 1968 - 69 and of Lok Sabha in 1970 onwards. Frequent elections affect economic growth, investment decisions apart from temporary stoppage of welfare schemes and other developmental activities - not to speak of disruption of supply chains and production cycles.
