Shiva
Maha Shivratri
The great night of Shiva
Sunday, 15 February 2026
The most sacred night for devotees of Mahadev — a night of stillness, fasting and unbroken chanting. Staying awake with Shiva's name is said to dissolve lifetimes of restlessness. There is no better night to chant Om Namah Shivaya.
