Maha Shivaratri is a special festival for Hindus and it's the most significant occasion to the devotee of Lord Shiva and follow Shivaism.

Today Maha Shivaratri is being celebrated mainly In India and Nepal and some other south Asian countries(partially) because most of the Hindus live in these countries.

According to Hindu legends, during the great mythical churning of the ocean – popularly known as Samudra Manthan, and conducted by gods and demons so that nectar could be obtained to make them immortal, a pot of poison emerged, which was consumed by Lord shiva to protect the whole world from the destruction. So people celebrate Maha shivaratri to thank and honor Lord Shiva.

Same to you brother ❤️️❤️️

Celebration in honor of Shiva begins with the sunrise in the day before the new moon in the spring month of phalgun. Hindu believers begin to prepare for the" great night of Shiva " in advance – observing a certain post and turning to the philosophical texts of Puranas that help to comprehend various aspects of Shiva. Before the festivities, the Indians travel to nearby ponds, where do the purifying ablution. In the late afternoon, in Indian towns and villages, believers flock with their families to the shivmandirs (temples of Shiva) to take part in the solemn service-Puja, where the deity is offered traditional sacrificial items - milk, water, bilva leaves, fruits, incense, oil lamps, etc.Celebration of Maha-Shivaratri in temples and at home altars continues all night.
