Maha Shivaratri, the night of Lord Shiva, is approaching (March 7). This year Maha Shivaratri is more auspicious as it has fallen on Monday, which is a day dedicated specially to worship Lord Shiva. Every year the premises of Pashupatinath is thronged with devotees from within and outside the country. Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT) has been managing the flow of devotees and this year it is believed around 12-lakh devotees will be at Pashupatinath to offer their prayers on Maha Shivaratri.
Shiva is one of the three major deities of Hinduism. According to Hindu mythology, Shiva is in the form of Vishnu and Brahma yet one with them. He is Anant, one who is neither found born nor found dead. He is the Parabrahman within Shaivism, one of the three most influential denominations in contemporary Hinduism. He is one of the five primary forms of God in the Smarta Tradition, and "the Transformer".
