Maha Shivaratri fasting will be observed on Thursday, March 11, 2021. Shivaratri vrat rituals begin a day before Maha Shivaratri. A day before Maha Shivaratri, most likely on Trayodashi, devotees should eat only one time. On the day of Shivaratri, after finishing morning rituals, take Sankalp (oath) to observe the full day fast with complete devotion to Lord Shiva. Shivaratri fasting is difficult and people pledge for self-determination and seek God s blessing before starting them to finish them successfully. Devotees can do Maha Shivaratri puja at home or can visit a temple. Generally, people visit Shiva temple during day and perform Shiva Puja at home during night.
