Shivaratri is a major Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Shiva, observed on the 14th night of the dark fortnight every month, with Maha Shivaratri being the grand annual celebration.
Devotees fast, meditate, and perform night-long vigils in Shiva temples. The festival celebrates the union of Shiva and Shakti and honors Shiva as the supreme cosmic power. Offerings of bilva leaves, milk, and water are made to the Shiva Lingam. Spiritual chanting and devotional songs create a sacred atmosphere.
