Maha Shivratri 2024: How to participate in Maha Aartis virtually at these 8 Jyotirlinga temples across India

The festival of

Maha Shivratri

is being celebrated today (March 8) across the country. Maha Shivaratri is celebrated on the 14th day of the dark fortnight of the 'Magha' month, as per the Hindu lunar calendar, and marks the night of the marriage of

Lord Shiva

and Goddess Parvati.
Maha Shivratri marks the convergence of 'Shiva' and 'Shakti' and also celebrates the night when Lord Shiva performed the 'Tandav'--the cosmic dance.

It is believed that on this day, the stars in the Northern Hemisphere are in the most optimum positions to help raise a person's spiritual energy.
As the country celebrates Maha Shivaratri, here’s how you can virtually join
