Maha Shivaratri celebrated nationwide with religious fervour
Millennium Post Delhi
|February 27, 2025
Amid chants of 'Om Namah Shivay' and 'Har Har Mahadev', tens of thousands of devotees thronged temples across the country on Wednesday to offer prayers to Lord Shiva on Maha Shivaratri to seek his divine blessings.
In Uttar Pradesh, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led the celebrations as he performed 'Rudrabhishek' at the Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur amid religious mantras.
Adityanath said lakhs of devotees have reached Prayagraj, Varanasi and other temples across the country and added that "this faith is a symbol of India's unity".
In Prayagraj, more than one crore pilgrims took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam on the occasion as the 45-day Maha Kumbh inched towards its closure.
Maha Shivaratri commemorates the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and holds special significance in the context of the Kumbh Mela.
