For the rest of us, it is still a mystery we can\u2019t comprehend \u2013 a language we can\u2019t understand.

The destroyer, the Rudra, The Kala Bhairav, and the one who goes by thousands and thousands of names is more than a deity. He has been a symbol of a healthy mind and spirituality. And one special day, or night to be precise, dedicated to Lord Shiva is Maha Shivaratri.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18943\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shiva-e1518179480833.jpg\" alt=\"Maha Shivaratri 2020\" width=\"665\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisdom.srisriravishankar.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/shiva-e1470885584999.jpg\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-1\">The Significance of Maha Shivaratri<\/h2>\n<p>The term Maha Shivaratri translates to the Great Night of Shiva and this special occasion is popularly celebrated in Nepal and India. According to the Hindu mythology, Maha Shivaratri is celebrated on the new-moon day that falls on the Maagha month of the Hindu calendar. There are close to 12 Shivratri that alternate in a year but the one that falls on this particular occasion is the most special and takes the name of Maha Shivratri.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18944 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/rishikesh-1108399_960_720-e1518179692438.jpg\" alt=\"Maha Shivaratri\" width=\"665\" height=\"443\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.pixabay.com\/photo\/2015\/12\/26\/08\/14\/rishikesh-1108399_960_720.jpg\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are several legends and myths associated with the occasion of Maha Shivratri. One legend states that there was a hunter who was vigorously looking for meat to eat. Tired of hunting in vain, he climbed the branches of a wood-apple tree and started throwing leaves on the floor to attract deer. When throwing, little did he know that there was a self-manifested Shiv ling underneath the tree that was receiving the leaves from the branches! Pleased with the leaves, Shiva appeared right in front of the hunter and granted him knowledge and wisdom. Having received blessings from the first yogi himself, he stopped consuming meat from that day.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/shiva-2-e1518179773659.jpg\" alt=\"shiva 2\" width=\"665\" height=\"499\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fthmb.tqn.com\/nFKaUe2P40K7hBfugmW-jtazdP0=\/1280x960\/filters:fill(auto,1)\/1280px-Bangalore_Shiva-56a483c95f9b58b7d0d75d3d.jpg\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another interesting legend states that once when the entire planet was under the threat of a massacre and destruction, Goddess Parvati prayed to Lord Shiva to protect the world. Lord Shiva was pleased with Parvati\u2019s prayers and agreed to do so under one condition that from that day, people would have to worship him with complete sincerity and dedication and celebrate the night as Maha Shivratri.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suggested Read : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/places-to-visit-in-india-in-february\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 Places to Visit in India in February 2020<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-2\">What Happens on a Maha Shivratri Night?<\/h2>\n<p>Maha Shivratri is one of the major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/popular-indian-festivals-you-cannot-ignore\/\">Indian festivals<\/a> and an occasion for public gathering.
