Maha Shivaratri honors the deity, Shiva. Every lunisolar month of the Hindu calendar has a Shivaratri on the 13th night/14th day, but once a year in late winter (February/March, or Phalguna) and before spring is Maha Shivaratri, which means "the Great Night of Shiva." This somber Hindu festival commemorates "overcoming darkness and ignorance" in life and the planet. It is celebrated by remembering Shiva, reciting prayers, fasting, practicing Yoga, and focusing on ethics and values like self-restraint, honesty, non injury to others, forgiveness, and Shiva. Devotees stay up all night. Some visit Shiva temples or Jyotirlingas. This festival's origin is uncertain.
