Maha Shivaratri Is Marked In Sri Lanka
Hindu devotees are 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, typically in February or March. Devotees are fasting, praying, and offering milk, fruits, and flowers to Shiva Lingam symbols. The festival, celebrated 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. Maha Shivaratri is uniting communities in reverence and spiritual reflection, emphasizing the triumph of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
