Maha Shivratri Festival

Maha Shivratri is a major Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Shiva, observed annually with devotion and reverence. It typically occurs in late winter to early spring and involves night-long prayers, fasting, meditation, and offerings at Shiva temples. Devotees seek blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual growth, believing that sincerely worshipping Shiva on this night helps destroy negativity and ego, leading to inner transformation. The festival also commemorates important mythological events associated with Shiva’s divine powers. It is a time for spiritual reflection, community participation, and honoring the aspects of destruction and regeneration embodied by Lord Shiva.
