Maha Shivratri is an important festival for Hindus, as it celebrates the sacred bond between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. This day is particularly significant during the Maha Kumbh celebration. According to Hindu legends, Lord Shiva played a vital role in the Samudra Manthan (ocean churning), leading to the creation of Amrit Kumbh (the nectar pot), which is central to the Kumbh Mela.
Beginning on January 13, the Maha Kumbh Mela included six specific ‘snan’ events, comprising three days dedicated to ‘Amrit Snan’. These days were Paush Purnima on January 13, Makar Sankranti on January 14, Mauni Amavasya on January 29, Basant Panchami on February 3, Maghi Purnima on February 12, and finally, Maha Shivratri on February 26.
