Maha Shivaratri is a Hindu
festival dedicated to Lord Shiva, celebrated annually on the 14th night of the
waning moon in the month of Phalguna or Magha (February–March).
It is a night of deep
spiritual significance, observed with fasting, night-long vigils (jaagaran),
and chanting of Shiva mantras.
Devotees perform Abhishekam
(ritual bathing) of the Shiva linga with milk, honey, ghee, and water, seeking
blessings for prosperity, wisdom, and liberation (moksha).
The festival symbolizes the
cosmic dance of Shiva (Tandava), his union with Parvati, and his role as the
destroyer of ignorance.
Many also believe that Maha
Shivaratri is the night when Shiva drank the Halahala poison during the
churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan), saving the universe.
It is considered highly
auspicious for meditation, devotion, and self-reflection, as Shiva represents
the supreme consciousness beyond time and space.
