The
auspicious
festival
of
Mahashivratri
is
celebrated
throughout
India
with
heartfelt
devotion
every
year.
On
this
day,
it
is
believed
that
Lord
Shiva
saved
the
world
by
consuming
poison
that
emerged
from
the
Samudra
Manthan
and
hence,
Lord
Shiva
is
also
known
as
Neelkanth.

Rohitashv
Gour
aka
Manmohan
Tiwari
shares,
"Every
Mahshivratri,
me
along
with
my
family
host
and
elaborate
puja
at
home
where,
we
decorate
our
mandir
with
flowers,
offer
milk
and
belpatra
to
the
shivaling
and
chant
maha
mryuntunjay
mantra.
This
is
followed
by
satvik
food
which
is
free
of
onion
and
garlic.
My
wife
observes
fast
and
I
support
her
with
an
only
fruit
diet.
The
day
also
brings
home
a
wave
of
positive
energy
and
strength.
I
wish
everyone
a
Happy
Mahashivratri."
Manmohan
Tiwari
aka
Pappu
shares,
"Lord
Shiva
inspires
me
to
stay
calm
even
in
the
most
chaotic
situations.
I
belong
to
a
family
of
Shivbhakts
where
we
worship
Mahadev
daily
and
offer
prayers
to
him.
Mahashivratri
is
a
very
special
festival
where
all
of
us
wake
up
early
and
meditate
for
a
long
hours
chanting
Om
Namah
Shivaye,
letting
go
all
the
negative
thoughts
and
invite
positive
energy."
Ashish
Kadian
aka
Indresh
shares,
"I
have
been
a
follower
of
Lord
Shiva
since
childhood.
His
simplicity,
focus,
strength,
selflessness
are
the
qualities
each
individual
should
carry
in
order
to
live
a
good
life.
On
Mahashivratri,
I
make
sure
I
take
out
time
from
my
busy
schedule
and
visit
the
Shiva
Temple
and
spend
some
time
just
absorbing
his
vibes
for
a
better
tomorrow.
I
wish
everyone
a
happy
Mahashivratri."
Kamna
Pathak
aka
Rajesh
shares,
"Just
remembering
Lord
Shiva
or
even
chanting
his
name
instils
a
sense
of
strength
and
calmness
in
me.
I
remember
my
mother
would
clean
the
house,
prepare
delicious
delicacies
and
mahaprashad
and
follow
it
up
with
a
Puja.
I
would
assist
her
in
making
our
home
festive-ready.
This
year,
I
will
try
to
arrange
a
small
puja
at
my
place
just
to
remind
myself
of
the
divine
power
that
protects
me
and
my
family.
Also,
I
would
like
to
wish
all
of
you
to
a
very
Happy
Mahashivrati."
