Saturday (February 18) markes Mahashivaratri, Hindu festival celebrated annually in honour of the deity Shiva. The name also refers to the night when Shiva is regarded to perform his divine dance, called the Tandava. A Shivaratri is observed on the night before the full moon during every month of the luni-solar Hindu calendar. According to the South Indian calendar, Maha Shivaratri is observed on Chaturdashi Tithi during Krishna Paksha in the month of Magha, and in other parts of India, on the 13th or 14th night of Krishna Paksha in Phalguna of the Hindu calendar. On this day, devotees chant shiv mantras, fast, meditate and stay awake throughout this night.
