Lord Shiva, one of the main deities in Hinduism, is honoured during the Hindu festival of Maha Shivratri each year. The event is celebrated on the fourteenth night of the new moon in the Hindu month of Phalguna, which falls in the Gregorian calendar typically in February or March.
The Sanskrit phrase "Maha Shivratri" literally translates to "the big night of Shiva." On this night, Lord Shiva is said to perform the cosmic dance of creation, preservation, and destruction. On this day, followers of Lord Shiva hold fasts, offer prayers, carry out rituals, and go to Shiva temples.
Maha Shivratri is observed in various parts of India by staying up all night reciting mantras and prayers. For followers of Lord Shiva, the occasion is of immense significance, and those who observe Maha Shivratri with sincerity and dedication are said to get the Lord's blessings and fulfilment of their wishes.
