EEM TRAVELS

Happy Shiva Ratri to Every devotee around the world.
------
Why do we celebrate Maha Shivaratri (Sila Charhe)?
____________
According to lore, Shivratri is celebrated on the day when Lord Shiva saved the world by drinking poison that emerged from the ocean during Samudra Manthan. This poison was stored in his throat, turning it blue, which is why Lord Shiva is also known as Neelkanth (blue throat).

Aside from that, there are various versions of the festival’s inception. It is also thought to originate from the day Lord Shiva married Goddess Parvati. It is described somewhere as the day of Lord Shiva and Goddess Satidevi’s marriage (the first wife of Lord Shiva).

Another legend has it that when Goddess Ganga descended from heaven in full force, Lord Shiva captured her in his matted locks and released her as numerous streams on Earth. This averted disaster on Earth. On this auspicious night, the Shivalinga is bathed as a devotion to him.

At midnight, the formless God Sadashiv is said to have emerged in the form of a Lingodhbhav Moorthi. As a result, to get his blessing, devotees stay awake all night praying to God.

Some memoirs of Maha Shivaratri
--------
There used to be a tradition of collecting wood and arranging a bonfire. This is now counted as a rare visual to be seen. However, in a few places, kids still make a barrier on the road, making each vehicle stop and collect money from them.
