Blessed Maha Shivaratri to all! This sacred day celebrates the convergence of Shiva and Shakti — the masculine and feminine energies which balance the world. Unlike other Indian festivals, which are about fervour, Maha Shivratri is a more solemn affair, marked with internal reflection and introspection.
