Maha Shivaratri is a festival celebrated all across India. While in some parts of the nation, people pay their respects to Shiva by fasting, in other parts various people flock to temples dedicated to Shiva. On the occasion of Maha Shivaratri, Sahapedia explores Mandi’s seven-day Shivaratri fair and why it is celebrated.
Celebrated on the 14th night of the dark fortnight in the month of Phalgun (February-March), Shivratri is considered the wedding night of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
Mahashivratri is a festival to relive the endless number of stories of Bhole Nath, the one whose patience, innocent benevolence and abundant blessings give devotees more than a reason to worship him fervently
Shiva is the easiest of the gods to please and his blessings possess enormous power.
