On the day of Maha Shivaratri, devotees visit India's major Jyotirlinga Shiva temples. According to religious beliefs, it is believed that on the day of Maha Shivaratri, Lord Shiva married Goddess Parvati. After Sati’s death, Shiva is said to have entered deep meditation, following which she reincarnated as Parvati to become the consort of Lord Shiva. Hence, Mahashivratri marks the union of Shiva and Parvati on the 14th of the dark fortnight in the month of Phalguna.
