Mahashivratri 2024: It is a day when Hindus worldwide celebrate Lord Shiva, the third god of the Hindu trinity
Devotees in large numbers visited the temples across India today to offer prayers on the occasion of Mahashivratri. They stood in long queues waiting to offer milk and fruits to Lord Shiva.
Mahashivratri is a day when Hindus worldwide celebrate Lord Shiva, the third god of the Hindu trinity. At dawn, they take a bath and visit temples with offerings like milk and flowers to seek Lord Shiva's blessings. Devotees hold day and night fast and make ritual worship of Lord Shiva.
The night of Mahashivratri is believed to be particularly auspicious, as it is linked to Lord Shiva's divine dance, the Tandava that symbolises the eternal cycle of creation, preservation and destruction.
