Maha Shivratri 2022: Wishes, quotes and messages to share with your loved ones

Lord Shiva, 'the destroyer' within the Trimurti, is considered to be the kindest among all deities according to Hindu religion. It is believed that Shiva gets impressed with the smallest gestures from his devotees, that is why he is also known as Bholenath.

Every year, Maha Shivaratri is celebrated to honour him and it is also one of the most auspicious festivals for Hindus. It is believed that Lord Shiva and Parvati got married on this day and hence, it holds great significance.

According to Hindu mythology, Maha Shivaratri holds immense importance as it is thought to be the day when a person can atone for their sins and achieve Moksha.

Devotees of Lord Shiva celebrate Maha Shivaratri with great pomp and religious zeal. This year, Maha Shivratri is being celebrated today (1 March) across the country.

Many devotees observe day-long fast and visit temples to offer prayers to Bholenath. They also chant 'Om Namah Shivaya' to honour the lord. Fasting on this auspicious day is also thought to bring good fortune to the family.
