in Pinmapple3 years ago (edited)

India is country of festivals. We celebrate many events each month with a lot of joy and happiness. Similarly in the month of March we have a festival known as Mahashivratri. Shivratri is a festival of Lord Shiva which is celebrated all over India. It is celebrated annually in the honour of Lord Shiva. Shivratri is celebrated every lunar solar month but Mahashivratri is celebrated in the month of March. Mahashivratri basically means the night of "Lord Shiva".

Many people believe that Lord Shiva was not born he was created automatically. Isn't thay so amazing guys? I know you guys might be thinking that how is this possible but yes it is true. It is said that lord Shiva was there when there was nothing in this world and he'll be there if nothing is left and everything is destructed. Lord shiva is called the Oldest God Of Hindu Mythology (Adi-Dev).

Mahashivratri is a huge festival which is celebrated greatly in Mandi Himachal Pradesh. During this festival Mandi is very crowded as you can see all the Devta's And Devi's ( God and Goddesses) they cross the road and bless everyone. People don't have the space even to walk and the traffic is on its peak.
