Shivaratri, which symbolises the convergence of Shiva and Shakti, is a day of great significance in Hindu religion.
In a year, there are 12 Masik Shivaratri, each month has its own significance.
Shivaratri which falls during Shravana month is known as Sawan Shivaratri. The whole month of Shravana (рд╢реНрд░рд╛рд╡рдг) is dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva.
Shivaratri during Sawan month is considered highly auspicious. However, the most significant Shivaratri which is known as Maha Shivaratri falls during February or March in Phalguna ( рдлрд╛рд▓реНрдЧреБрди) month according to North Indian calendar.
Devotees observe fast whole day and worship Lord Shiva to seek his blessings. It is believed that fasting on this auspicious day gives freedom from anger, jealousy, pride and greed. Besides, unmarried women are advised to observe fast on all Mondays of the month of Sawan, for a good husband.
Famous Shiva temples, Kashi Vishwanath and Badrinath Dham arrange special Pujas and Shiva Darshan during Sawan month.
