Devotees are fasting, praying, and offering milk, fruits, and flowers to Shiva Lingam symbols. The celebration, which takes place in India, Nepal, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, and other countries, symbolizes devotion, purification, and spiritual renewal. The night is marking Lord Shiva's cosmic dance of creation.
