Significance of Mahashivratri

Celebrated on the 14th day of the Phalguna month, Mahashivratri marks the celestial union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. For millions of devotees, it is a day of spiritual awakening and intense prayer. 

In 2026, the festival falls on Sunday, February 15, with many observers participating in Jagrana (night-long vigils) and strict fasting. Whether through Nirjala (waterless) fasts or offering milk and bael leaves to the Shivalinga, the festival remains a powerful symbol of overcoming darkness and ignorance.
