The auspicious festival of Maha Shivratri is celebrated in the month of February/ March, according to the Gregorian Calendar.

According to the lunisolar Hindu Calendar, every month, the day before the new moon, there is a Shivaratri which means the night of Shiva and falls on the 13th night and 14th day.

But once in every year, a Maha Shivaratri or the great night of Shiva takes place in the late winters and before the arrival of summers.

According to the North Indian Hindu calendar, the day falls in the month of Phalguna, which is the last month of the Hindu calendar while it falls in the month of Magha, according to the South Indian Hindu Calendar.

According to Hindu mythology, there are many stories behind the celebration of Maha Shivaratri. Most of the Hindus believe that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati got married on this day.

Another story is that when Lord Indra and other gods lost their power as they were cursed by a great saint, Lord Vishnu suggested him to go for Samudra Manthan, which means churning the ocean.

During the Samudra Manthan, a threatening poison emerged which was so dangerous that it could destroy the whole world, at that time Lord Shiva came to rescue the world.

He drank the poison and protected the world from the demolition. After drinking that poison his throat turned blue, that is he is also known as Neelkantha, which means someone with a blue throat.
