Significance of Mahashivratri
Mahashivratri, celebrated as the union of Shiva and Shakti, is one of the major fasting festivals in Hinduism. Devotees observe a day-long fast and worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati during auspicious times. This fast is observed by both men and women.
It is believed that those who observe this fast with complete devotion will have all their wishes fulfilled and receive blessings of happiness and prosperity. It is also believed that observing this fast can help a devotee find their desired life partner.
Gets full results
Some devotees eat only once a day on the Trayodashi Tithi, the day before Shivratri. On Mahashivratri, devotees rise early in the morning, bathe, and meditate before taking a vow to fast. On Shivratri, devotees bathe again in the evening and worship Lord Shiva during the auspicious time. The Mahashivratri fast is broken the next day. By doing so, the devotee receives the full benefits of the fast.
