Maha Shivratri
15 February 2026
Maha Shivratri is one of the most important Hindu festivals dedicated to Lord Shiva, symbolizing spiritual awakening, inner peace, and the victory of light over darkness.
Observed on the 14th night of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Phalguna, the festival is marked by fasting, night-long vigils, temple visits, and special Shiva pujas.
Devotees perform Abhishekam of the Shiva Lingam with water, milk, honey, and bilva leaves while chanting sacred mantras like Om Namah Shivaya. Maha Shivratri holds deep spiritual significance and is believed to bring blessings, purification, and divine grace.
