Maha ShivaRatri 2020

Friday, February 21st to Saturday, February 22nd 2020

The “Night of Shiva” is celebrated on the day before the new moon in late February or early March, when the moon is furthest from Earth, a time to worship God the Absolute. In 2019 an all-night puja begins at sunset on Friday, February 21st (dark of the moon) and continues with chanting in praise of Lord Shiva until the morning of Saturday, February 22nd. During the puja there are five periods of worship, each followed by prasad.
