Auspicious Hindu festival Maha Shivratri, which falls on 17 February this year, is dedicated to Lord
Shiva and is celebrated with religious fervour by devotees
- To start with, Maha Shivratri is said to be the day when Lord Shiva married Goddess Parvati. Thus, the day is the union of Shiva and Shakti, the two greatest forces of the Universe.
- Shivratri night means a lot to unmarried women who worship to get a husband like Lord Shiva. Also, devotees worship to achieve success and to drive away evil spirits.
