Maha Shivaratri

The Great Night of Shiva marks the union of Shiva and Shakti and the cosmic dance (Tandava).

Devotees observe a strict fast, perform Abhishekam, and stay awake in meditation.

Scriptures suggest Lord Shiva protected the universe by consuming the Halahala poison on this night.

It is believed that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati got married on this auspicious night.
