Maha Shivratri 2021: vrat vidhi
The Maha Shivratri vrat will start on Trayodishi tithi with a sankalp to observe full day fast without any hindrance. Devotees perform puja and seek blessings from Lord Shiva before completing their fasts. As per the Hindu scriptures, the Maha Shivratri puja is performed four times during the night on Chaturdashi. These four times are also known as char pahars and it is believed that performing puja during these timings frees the person from their past sins and blesses them with moksha. It is mandatory to do Shiv Puja during the night only and the parana should be done after sunrise before the Chaturdashi Tithi ends on the next day. Devotees also chant ‘Om Namah Shivay’ 108 times during the puja.
Maha Shivratri is also known as the day when Shiva was united with Shakti. Devotees also showcase jhanki or procession of Shiva-Parvati marriage at many places in North India. It believed that Goddess Parvati was the incarnation of Goddess Sati.
