Summary edit

Description
English: This holiday, which falls on the night before the new moon of the last lunar cycle of winter, falls on February-March. The festival "Shivaratri" is celebrated several times a year, but this one is considered the most important, which is why it bears the prefix "maha" - great, main. Believers read "katha" - stories about Shiva, and sing hymns in his honor. After the holiday, which lasts a day, the fair begins. Those who are awake during Shivaratri are promised material prosperity and a place in paradise in the Puranas, and any meditation on this night is considered 100 times stronger than usual, this is due to the position of the Sun and Moon at this time.
