(UTV|COLOMBO) – Hindu devotees in Sri Lanka and across the world celebrate ‘Maha Shivratri’, today.
The day is known as the Great Night of Shiva. On this day Lord Shiva is said to have saved the world from destruction on the condition that people worshipped him with great pride and enthusiasm.
Maha Shivaratri is a major festival within the Hinduism culture because it marks remembrance of overcoming darkness and ignorance in the world.
During this day, devotees remember Lord Shiva through prayers, fasting and by offering water, milk, and flowers to Shiva’s idol or Shivalinga and worship the Hindu God of destruction.
