Maha Shivaratri

Maha Shivaratri, a key Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Shiva, falls around late February or early March each year. It’s a time for deep spiritual reflection, where people fast, meditate, and connect with deeper aspects like honesty, patience, and self-discipline. The day is all about spirituality taking the front seat, offering everyone a chance to pause, introspect, and renew their connection with the divine. 

During this festival, devotees perform night-long vigils, chanting prayers and hymns in Lord Shiva’s honour. Temples are beautifully decorated, creating a reverent atmosphere. Stories depicting Shiva’s virtues are shared, fostering a sense of community and spiritual connection. The act of fasting and offering special foods to Shiva symbolises purification and devotion. But it isn’t all about rituals. It’s a significant communal event that reinforces bonds and encourages a collective journey towards ethical and spiritual growth.
