Shivaratri, the night consecrated to Lord Shiva, occurs on the fourteenth day of the waxing moon in February or in early March occasionally, like this year for instance if falls on 12/february/2010.
It is said that Shiva, the Great God appeared in the bank of the Holy Bagmati River centuries ago and the Temple of Lord Pashupatinath was erected there to secure the holy site.
On this day, Lord Shiva and Shiva Linga, one of his manifestations is worshipped with great veneration. Therefore, for devout Hindus Shiva Ratri is the holiest of the holy festivals, as the Great God, Mahadev, is worshipped in many manifestations.
Being the lord of the gods, Shiva is capable of bestowing unlimited prosperity to his worshippers in this world and a blissful life in the next.
Besides its religious importance, it is believed that Lord Shiva, the god of creation, who used to be cold to the living beings, becomes affectionate from this day onwards. As a result, bare plants and trees have new shoots, heralding the coming of spring.

Followers of Hinduism take early morning baths and observe a fast and visit the temples of Lord Shiva in their vicinities and perform pujas, offering oblations and reciting hymns in the appreciation of the Lord right from the morning a day before Shiva Ratri. They light tapers and oil-fed lamps at the temples and stay awake that night.
Tens of thousands of staunch Hindu pilgrims throng the Temple of Lord Pashupatinath, which is considered to be the holiest of all Shiva temples, on the day of Shiva Ratri in Kathmandu. Lord Pashupatinath is one of the forms of Lord Shiva as the preserver of animals.
A large number of naked and quasi-nude sadhus smoking pipes filled with ganja, bhang and dhaturo (marijuana, cannabis etc) are seen on either side of the road leading to the holy temple of Lord Pashupatinath, as it is allowed to be consumed on this day, which is otherwise prohibited by laws.
Since ganja or hashish and other narcotic drugs are favourites of Lord Shiva, his followers prefer smoking them at least once a year on this day. Youths also gather around those sadhus in the hope of getting an opportunity of taking a puff of the narcotic drugs.
Not only Nepalis from across the country but also a large number of pilgrims from India come to Nepal on this occasion. The government makes special arrangements in the temple of Pashupatinath and its adjoining areas for the visiting religious tourists every year.
Hindus and especially the Shivites, stream to the Pashupatinath temple on this day and perform a lengthy pujas to please Lord Shiva. As Shiva is the God of Creation or reproduction, worshipping of Shiva Linga, phallus representing one of the manifestations of Lord Shiva, holds special significance on this occasion.
Linga Puran, a religious scripture has it that those who take holy bath one day before Shiva Ratri and perform complex pujas and observe fast staying awake the night and circumambulate the phallus of Lord Shiva and sprinkle the Linga with holy waters on Shiva Ratri, their desires would be fulfilled and would ensure heavenly abode after their death.
Therefore, wherever there is a temple of Lord Shiva, there is a Shiva Linga and an image of a bull, the mount of Lord Shiva. Generally, Shiva Lingas are found based upon a Yoni, the female genital of reproduction, which represents Parvati, his consort.
So Shiva Linga is an inseparable part of Shiva temple. However, they may be different in size and style depending upon the availability of suitable stone to carve the phallus.
Legends have it that even those who happen to observe a fast without any religious purpose or unknowingly on this day would also be destined to acquire prosperity in this world and secure their abode in paradise following their demise. It speaks of the immense significance of the festival.
The origin of worshipping of Shiva Linga is very interesting. According to Linga Puran, one day a group of deities including Brahma and Vishnu, two of Shiva’s manifestations and other prominent gods went to see Shiva in Kailash.
To their amazement, they found Shiva engaged in lovemaking with his consort and far from being disconcerted, the Great God went on gratifying his sensual desires.
Upon this some of the gods broke into peals of laughter while some grew indignant and cursed Shiva. Later Shiva came to himself from the shameful act and asked his guards who those visitors were and what happened then. His guards told him the naked truth.
Angry Shiva roared, "You evil spirits (addressing to those gods) consider it my double self. Yes, I am the Linga myself and I ordain that men shall offer to it henceforth their sacrifices and worship. Those who pay respects to me under the symbol of Linga shall obtain all the objects of their desires and a place in Kailash, paradise without a fail."
It is believed that it has prompted the followers of Hinduism to worship the Shiva Linga on this occasion in anticipation of fulfilling their desires in this world and securing a place in Kailash after their death.
In the pretext of pleasing the Great God, especially youths resort to mixing the powder of such drugs in sweetmeats and they also take them in their crude form, for the sake of merrymaking. Nowadays, even sweetmeat shops prepare special varieties of sweets to meet the demand on the day of Shiva Ratri.Contact Us for online puja.
Likewise, the believers in Hinduism make fires in their localities asking pieces of firewood from people of their neighbourhood, in the name of making fire to keep the Great God warm. In many places, people thus make fire and roast maize, potato, sweet potato and other things and eat .
