Shivaratri – ശിവരാത്രി
കുംഭ മാസത്തിലെ കൃഷ്ണപക്ഷത്തിലെ പതിമൂന്നാം രാത്രിയും പതിനാലാം പകലുമാണ് ശിവരാത്രി ആഘോഷിക്കുന്നത്. ഫാല്‍ഗുന മാസത്തിലെ കറുത്തപക്ഷ ത്രയോദശിയാണ് നാം ഇപ്രകാരം ആചരിച്ചു പോരുന്നത്. പ്രദോഷ സമയത്ത് ശിവന്‍ തന്റെ ആനന്ദനടനമാടുന്നുവെന്നാണ് പഴമക്കാരുടെ സങ്കല്‍പ്പം. ശിവന്റെ താണ്ഡവനൃത്തം പൂര്‍ണ്ണമാകുന്ന ദിനമത്രേ, ശിവരാത്രി.
