Maha Shivratri, falling on February 26, 2025, marks the culmination of the Maha Kumbh Mela. This day is deeply revered in Hinduism as it commemorates the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. During Maha Shivratri, devotees will gather at the Triveni Sangam to take part in the final sacred bath, seeking spiritual purification and blessings.
Devotees observe fasting and perform pujas during this period, with the most auspicious time for worship being the Nishita Kaal, which falls between 12:08 am and 12:58 am on February 27.
The festival is divided into four prahar pujas, starting from 6:18 pm on February 26 and continuing through the night until 6:48 am on February 27.
