Maha Shivaratri
Date: 03/02/2011
This popular festival is dedicated to Lord Shiva and celebrated by Hindus all over the world. Maha Shivaratri is celebrated in Nepal at the Pashupati Temple in Kathmandu. This is an incredible spectacle, with devotees paying tribute to Lord Shiva by smearing their bodies in ashes and praying until they fall into a meditative state. The festival falls on the moonless night of the month of Phalguna and prayers and ceremonies continue late into the night.
