Lord Shiva and Maha Shivratri

-

 

Lord Shiva, often referred to as "Mahadeva" (Great God), is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is the Supreme God within Shaivism, one of the major traditions within Hinduism that reveres Shiva as the ultimate reality. Known for his contrastive aspects such as benevolence and fear, his serene appearances as well as furious avatars, Lord Shiva displays the complex nature of gods composed of goodness, benignity, and destructive aspects.

He is regarded as the patron god of Yoga, meditation, and arts. The main iconographical attributes of Shiva are the third eye on his forehead, the snake Vasuki around his neck, the crescent moon adorning, the river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the trishula or trident as his weapon, and the damaru or drum. He is also often depicted seated upon a tiger skin.

Maha Shivratri

Maha Shivratri is a mighty festival in Hinduism, celebrating the grace of Lord Shiva. The festival is celebrated on the new moon day in the month of Maagha according to the Hindu calendar. The day is celebrated to venerate Lord Shiva, an important deity in Hindu culture.

Many devotees observe a full day and night fast on Maha Shivratri. People also perform a special Shiva puja during the Maha Shivratri festival.

On this day, devotees wake up early, bathe, and then, following the purification rite, they wear fresh new clothes and visit Shiva temples. Some also visit all the Shiva temples around them. The festival is all about celebrating the convergence of Shiva and Shakti.
