Maha Shivratri, the “Great Night of Shiva,” is a Hindu festival honoring Lord Shiva, the embodiment of transformation and cosmic power. Celebrated on the darkest night of the lunar month, it signifies the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. Devotees observe this night through fasting, prayers, and staying awake (Jagran). Chanting sacred mantras and offering ablutions to the Shiva Linga (aniconic representation of Shiva) are central rituals. Maha Shivratri is not just a celebration; it’s a journey inward, a chance for self-reflection and spiritual renewal.
