Maha Shivaratri, the Great Night of Shiva, is when Lord Shiva is believed to have performed his cosmic
Tandava dance — the source of the cycle of creation, preservation, and destruction. Devotees worship Lord Shiva on this occasion to gain release from this cycle of death and rebirth. Most of the festivities take place throughout the night, when vigils are maintained at Shiva temples. Devotees fast from sunrise, swim in the holy Ganges river, offer prayers at the temples, and chant devotional songs. Many people also consume
bhang, a substance derived from cannabis.
- When: February 12, 2010.
- Where: Shiva temples all over India, particularly in Delhi and in the state of Uttar Pradesh, such as Varanasi.
