Formally The Sadhus are entering to Pashupati area today. Shivaratri is witnessed by thousands of pilgrimages, and hundreds of Sadhus stay in the PAashupati area for a month.
Shivaratri also known as Maha Shivrtri or the night of lord Shiva is one of the biggest festivals in Hinduism. Normally occurring between March and April, this year we are witnessing Shivaratri on 8th March.
“Maha Shivaratri, celebrated annually in reverence to Lord Shiva, marks a time of spiritual awakening and renewal. Devotees observe fasting, perform rituals, and chant mantras to honor the destroyer of evil. Let us immerse ourselves in devotion, seeking the blessings of Shiva, and finding inner peace and enlightenment on this auspicious day.”
