Maha Shivratri is a night of deep devotion, faith, prayer, meditation, and spiritual energy. According to popular belief, this is the sacred night when Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati were married. After ages of waiting, undergoing trials, and meditating, Goddess Parvati finally won Lord Shiva’s heart, and they united. It is said that the joy of their wedding was so pure and great that the gods themselves blessed the Earth and filled the night with divine love and energy.

    It is also believed that on this auspicious night, Lord Shiva performed the divine dance known as the Tandav. The cosmic dance symbolises creation, preservation, and destruction. This powerful dance represents the eternal cycle of life and the universe’s balance. Maha Shivratri Thandai Recipes: 5 Refreshing Ways To Enjoy This Traditional Indian Cold Beverage on Mahashivratri.
