Maha Shivaratri Is Marked In Sri Lanka
A Hindu devotee is worshiping Lord Shiva at the Hindu temple during Maha Shivaratri in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on March 8, 2024. Maha Shivaratri, which honors Lord Shiva, is celebrated during the Hindu lunar month of Phalguna or Maagha (usually February or March). Devotees are fasting, praying, and offering milk, fruits, and flowers to Shiva Lingam symbols. Celebrated in India, Nepal, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, and other countries, the festival symbolizes devotion, purification, and spiritual renewal. The night marks Lord Shiva's cosmic dance of creation. Maha Shivaratri unites communities in reverence and spiritual reflection, emphasizing the triumph of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
