Shivaratri Dates – 2026

Shivaratri, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a highly auspicious Hindu festival observed every month as Masik Shivaratri, with Maha Shivaratri being the most significant. Devotees observe Shivaratri Vrat, perform Rudrabhishekam, chant Om Namah Shivaya, and visit Shiva temples to seek divine blessings for peace, prosperity, and spiritual growth. Observing Shivaratri fasting and night-long prayers is believed to remove sins, grant moksha (liberation), and fulfill desires.

In 2026, Maha Shivaratri will be celebrated with great devotion in Shiva temples across India, including Kashi Vishwanath, Kedarnath, Rameshwaram, and Chidambaram. The monthly Masik Shivaratri dates are observed by devotees who wish to strengthen their spiritual connection with Lord Shiva. Worshipping Lord Shiva with Bael leaves, milk, honey, and sacred chants is said to bring success, happiness, and inner peace.
