"Maha-Shivratri: Significance, Celebration, and Spiritual Enlightenment"
Maha-Shivratri is a significant Hindu festival celebrated annually in honor of Lord Shiva, observed on the 14th night of the new moon during the Hindu month of Phalguna. Devotees observe a day-long fast, offer prayers, perform Abhishekam, chant mantras, and sing bhajans in praise of Lord Shiva to attain spiritual enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of birth and death.
