Mahashivaratri is an auspicious occasion for Hindus. It is the festival when
Lord Shiva, one of the deities of Hindu Trinity (the other two being Lord Brahma
and Lord Vishnu), is worshipped with immense devotion. The ceremonious occasion,
which honors Lord Shiva, falls on the moonless 14th night of the new moon in the
Hindu month of Phalgun, which corresponds to the month of February - March in
English Calendar. The celebrations begin in the morning and continue all through
the night, as the devotees observe fast and remain awake. Bhajans are sung in
the praise of the Almighty, on Mahashivratri. In the following lines, we have
provided some of the popular bhajans for Maha Shivaratri.
