I am a staunch Shiva- Bhakt and I advice all my followers to eat just once on the day before Mahashivratri, i.e on Trayodashi. In 2019, Maha Shivratri would fall on the 4th of March, which happens to be a Monday. Despite this difference, both North Indians and South Indians celebrate Mahashivratri on the same day with great pomp and grandeur.Ĥ. However, it is the naming convention of the lunar month which differs in both calendars. On the contrary, if we talk about the North Indian calendar, the Masik Shivratri which falls in the Phalguna month is celebrated an Maha Shivratri. According to the South Indian Calendar, Mahashivratri falls on the Chaturdashi Tithi during Krishna Paksha in the month of Magha.
Hence Maha Shivaratri is even known to be the birthday of Lord Shiva and devotees worship Shiva Linga during Shivaratri.ģ. As per Indian Mythology, in the midnight of Maha Shivaratri, Lord Shiva appeared in the form of Linga and Shiva Linga was worshipped by Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma for the first time. One such belief relates to the importance, significance and meaning behind celebrating Maha Shivratri.Ģ. There are different understandings and explanations about various religious events which we follow and celebrate. India is a land with diverse beliefs, traditions and cultures.
