It is called \u2018Masik Shivratri,\u2019 and on this day, people worship Lord Shiva and his wife, Goddess Parvati. Even though Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are prayed to all year long, Shivratri is an extra important day for their followers. This special day falls on the 14th day of every month, just before the moon changes its shape. People celebrate Shivratri by fasting, praying, and meditating.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mahashivratri<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mahashivratri is a very important Shivratri that happens once a year.

This day is very special because, according to stories, it is the day when <strong>Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati got married<\/strong>. So, Mahashivratri celebrates their marriage. Devotees of Lord Shiva celebrate this day with a lot of happiness, prayers, and devotion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mahashivaratri is a very special and spiritual festival.
