Shivaratri occurs on the Chaturdashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha every month.
As this is the day on which Lord Shiva is said to have first manifested as a linga. Primarily, Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma were the first to worship the Shiva Linga, and this practice has been maintained to the present day.
The significance of this day is further attested by another tale. Lord Shiva is said to have retained all the poison in his neck, turning it blue, on this day during the churning of the ocean during the fight between God and the Asuras.
Aside from that, it is also thought that Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati got married on Shivaratri.
Monthly Shivaratri is celebrated to seek divine blessings of joy, prosperity, spirituality, liberation, and spiritual growth.
Happy Shivaratri wishes to you all!!!
