shivarAtri festival
Hello everybody,
I heard about this festival and I was told it will be next november (the 8th?, does anybody know if it will be celebrated in South India and in which town? For that date I will be near Tiruvannamalai, do you think something is going on? If yes, will there be any celebrations worth of a schedule changing? And most of all, is it correlated with deepvali festival? Sorry for all those questions that could be stuopid, but I am fold of festivals and trying to understand meanings is often an hard work for me thank in advance max |

Okay I got it...there are 4 differenet Shivratris spread across the year...
However Maha Shivratri (Great Shivratri) is one that is more widespread and celebrated.. |

Shivarathri dates
HI!
Maha Shivarathri is celebrated on the new moon in February, sometimes beginning March! What a great idea to be in Tiravanamalai. I thought it was Divali that is in October/November???? Have a lovely time chanting Om namah Shivaya!! |
