Shivratri is the holy festival of convergence of Shiva and Shakti. It is celebrated on the 14th day of the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi Tithi of every month. However, the most important Shivaratri is the one that falls during the month of Magha which is known as Maha Shivratri. Shivaratri literally means the night of Shiva and hence, the day is dedicated to the Supreme Lord of the universe.
