The holy Hindu festival of “Maha Shivaratri” commemorates the marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati as well as Shiva’s heavenly dance, the “Tandava.”

Hindus observe an all-night watch, fast, and recite prayers while considering myths like the one about Shiva ingesting the poison “Halahala” to protect the world.

It occurs on the “Chaturdashi Tithi” during “Krishna Paksha” in the month of “Magha,” according to the South Indian calendar. It falls in the month of Phalguna during “Masik Shivaratri,” according to the North Indian calendar. North and South Indians come together to celebrate ‘Maha Shivaratri’ on the same day, despite the two calendars’ differing lunar month names.
