What Maha Shivaratri means
Maha Shivaratri is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Traditions describe it as the night of Shiva's marriage to Goddess Parvati. Others speak of the night he appeared as an endless pillar of light. Families and temples remember these stories in their own way.
Rudraksha is associated with Lord Shiva in Hindu tradition. Many devotees wear or hold a Rudraksha mala during japa on this night.
How devotees observe Maha Shivaratri
Observance differs by family and temple, so follow your own tradition. Common practices include a fast, a visit to a Shiva temple, abhishek of the Shivling and japa of Om Namah Shivaya. Bilva leaves, water and milk are traditionally offered to Lord Shiva.
Many devotees stay awake and pray through the four prahars of the night. Ask your family or temple for the guidance and rules that apply to you.
