Shivratri

Shivratri, or Mahasivratri, is a Hindu religious festival dedicated to Lord Shiva, celebrated annually with devotion and reverence. It marks the night when Shiva is believed to have performed the “Tandava” dance or to have conveyed his divine cosmic energy. Devotees observe fasting, meditate, chant prayers, and offer special offerings to seek Shiva's blessings for health, prosperity, and spiritual growth. The night symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and ignorance. Participating in Shiva temples and rituals, followers reflect on spiritual themes, making Shivratri a significant occasion for devotion and inner reflection.
