4 steps to celebrating MahaShivratri

MahaShivratri, “the Great Night of Shiva” is a popular Hindu festival of India and Nepal.  Celebrated on a new moon day, devotees revere Lord Shiva, the powerful ascetic deity and seek his blessings.

“Om Namah Shivaye”, the mantra, is chanted by devotees, who fast on this day to honor Shiva.
