Maha Shivratri festival
Maha
Shivratri is observed to mark a remembrance of 'overcoming darkness and
ignorance' in life and the world. Unlike most festivals, is celebrated at night
and is a solemn event. Shivaratri is also when Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva
married again.
The festival
is principally celebrated by offerings of Bael (Bel Tree) leaves to Lord Shiva,
all day fasting and an all-night-long vigil. On Maha Shivratri, "Om Namah
Shivaya", the sacred mantra of Shiva, is chanted through the day in Shiva
temples. Special Puja is held at homes and temples.
About Shiv & Shakti
The duo of
Shiv and Shakti is considered to be the epitome of love, power, and
togetherness. The festival marking the initiation of their bond - 'Maha
Shivratri' - is celebrated with great fervour across India.
