Maha Shivaratri is a Hindu festival celebrated annually in honor of Lord Shiva.
There is a Shivaratri in every luni-solar month of the Hindu calendar, on the month's 13th night/14th day, but once a year in late winter (February/March, or phalgun) and before the arrival of Summer, marks Maha Shivaratri which means "the Great Night of Shiva" It is a major festival in India Hinduism, and this festival is solemn and marks a remembrance of "overcoming darkness and ignorance" in life and the world.
It is observed by remembering Shiva and chanting prayers, fasting, and meditating on ethics and virtues such as self-restraint, honesty, non-injury to others, forgiveness, and the discovery of #Shiva.
The ardent devotees keep awake all night. Others visit one of the Shiva temples or go on pilgrimage to #Jyotirlings. This is an ancient Hindu festival whose origin date is unknown. Maha Shivaratri is an annual festival dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva, and is particularly important in the Shaivism tradition of Hinduism.
Unlike most Hindu festivals which are celebrated during the day, the Maha Shivaratri is celebrated at night.
Furthermore, unlike most Hindu festivals which include expression of cultural revelry, the Maha Shivaratri is a solemn event notable for its introspective focus, fasting, meditation on Shiva, self study, social harmony and an all night vigil at Shiva temples. The celebration includes maintaining a "jaagaran", an all-night vigil and prayers, because Shaiva Hindus mark this night as "overcoming darkness and ignorance" in one's life and the world through Shiva.
Offerings of fruits, leaves, sweets and milk to Shiva are made, some perform all-day fasting with vedic or tantric worship of Shiva, and some perform meditative Yoga.
In Shiva temples, "Om Namah Shivaya", the sacred mantra of Shiva, is chanted through the day.
