mahashivratri 2023
Mahashivaratri, happens only once every year in February/March. It is considered particularly auspicious, as it is believed to be the night of convergence of Shiva and Shakti, which essentially means the male and female energies that keep the world in balance. Shiva and Shakti are worshiped as the embodiment of love, power and unity.
Shiva devotees undergo a 24-hour fast which is broken the next morning. Mahashivaratri Puja, unlike many other festivals, is performed at night.
