About Maha Shivratri 2027
Maha Shivratri is the most sacred night dedicated to Lord Shiva, observed on the 14th day (Chaturdashi) of the dark fortnight in the Hindu month of Phalguna. Devotees stay awake all night, perform abhishekam on the Shivling, chant Om Namah Shivaya, and seek liberation through deep devotion. Shubh Panchang brings the most powerful Shivratri darshan live online so devotees worldwide can join the night-long worship from home.
Maha Shivratri 2027 Date
Maha Shivratri 2027 falls on Saturday, March 6, 2027. The Nishita Kaal (midnight) puja is the most auspicious window, when Lord Shiva is believed to have appeared as a fiery Lingam. Devotees observe the four-prahar puja through the night, offering bilva leaves, milk, honey, ghee, and water on the Shivling.

Rituals & Puja Vidhi
The Maha Shivratri vrat is observed by men and women alike. Devotees take a holy bath at sunrise, wear clean clothes, and resolve (sankalpa) to fast through the day and night. The four-prahar puja begins after sunset — each prahar uses a different sacred offering: milk, curd, ghee, and honey. Throughout the night, devotees chant the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, recite the Rudri Paath, and listen to Shiva katha. Married couples often visit temples together to seek blessings for marital harmony.
