MAHA  SHIVRATRI  

               Shivratri, also known as Maha Shivratri, is a Hindu festival that is celebrated annually in honor of Lord Shiva. "Shiva" is one of the principal deities in Hinduism, known as the destroyer of evil and the transformer within the Trimurti, which also includes Brahma (the creator) and Vishnu (the preserver).
              

               Shivratri is celebrated on the 14th day of the dark fortnight in the Hindu month of Phalguna (February/March), according to the Hindu lunar calendar. It is believed that Lord Shiva performed the "Tandava" dance on this day, which signifies the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction.
 
             On this day, devotees of Lord Shiva observe a day-long fast and offer prayers, flowers, and milk to the Shiva Linga, which is considered as the symbol of Lord Shiva. They also chant mantras, perform aarti, and participate in special puja ceremonies. Many people also visit Shiva temples and offer their prayers to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva.
 
             In some parts of India, it is believed that unmarried girls who observe fast on this day and offer their prayers to Lord Shiva will be blessed with a good husband, while married women pray for the well-being of their husbands and children.
