Maha Shivratri
Maha Shivratri is predominantly a Hindu festival, celebrated annually in honour of Lord Shiva, the God of destruction. Shivratri is celebrated in every month of the luni-solar calendar, in accordance with the Hindu calendar but once a year, in late winter Maha Shivratri is celebrated to commemorate the oncoming summer. On this day devotees of Lord Shiva, observe a day-long fast, remain awake all night and perform puja during Nishita Kaal to celebrate the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri. On Mahashivratri night there is a natural upsurge of energies within the human system. ... Staying awake throughout the night with a vertical spine posture may lead to benefits for not only those on religious paths like yogis etc but others as well. Lord Shiva holds a 3rd eye which is the basis of all the realities. Maha Shivaratri is celebrated over three or ten days based on the Hindu luni-solar calendar. Every lunar month, there is a Shivaratri (12 per year).
