Maha Shivaratri (Mahāśivarātri) is a Hindu Festival celebrated annually in honour of the god Shiva Or Mahadev. The name also refers to the night when Lord Shiva performs the heavenly dance called Tandav.

Devotees should get up early in the morning, take a bath and then they must visit the Shivalaya, the Shiva temple and perform rites such as simple Rudrabhisheka (watering the Shiva Lingam) with auspicious ingredients, including various kinds of fruits and especially with bel leaves

Traditional way of observing Maha Shivratri

In Hindu cosmology, a day is divided into eight segments known as prahars, of three hours each. Thus, there are four units/segments of the day and four of the night. Mahashivratri is celebrated in the four units of the night. Shiva is worshipped in different forms in different prahars, so that’s four styles of worship all through the night, with the help of simple Rudrabhisheka and prayers.

In every month of the luni-solar Hindu Calender, there is a Shivaratri – "night of Shiva" – on the day before new moon. But once a year, in late winter and before the arrival of Summer (February/March), this night is called "Maha Shivaratri" – "the Great Night of Shiva". This day falls in the month of Phalguna as per the North Indian Hindu calendar and in MAGHA as per the South Indian Hindu calendar. People chant the mantra “Om Namah Shivaya” as much as possible the whole day and night, or at least 108 times. There are many others who chant sacred hymns of Lord Shiva,
