Mahasivarathri means the great night
of Siva. It is believed that Lord Siva was born in the form of a lingam on the
night of Krishna Chaturdasi (14th day of the dark fortnight).
On this day after bath a lingam is placed in the mandapam. It is then worshipped
with bel leaves (Aegle marmelos maaredu). In the evening the devotees take bath
& go to the Siva temple & chant Siva’s name continuously, listen
to Siva’s stories & remain awake the whole night & break their
fast the next day.
