Maha Shivaratri – Great Night of Lord Shiva
Maha Shivratri is one of the most significant Hindu festivals annually observed in honour of Lord Shiva. The festival marks the union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Shakti. On this day devotees worship Lord Shiva, observe a strict fast and do various religious activities to please Lord Shiva and do Parana on the next day i.e, Chaturdashi.
The word Shivratri is formed by the amalgamation of two words, Shiv and Ratri, where Shiv means ‘Lord Shiva’ and Ratri means Night. Therefore, Shivratri means the night of Lord Shiva.
Wishing you all a very Happy Maha Shivratri! – May the choicest blessings of Lord Shiva bring happiness, peace, good health, wealth, prosperity and harmony to your life.
