Earlier today, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Sunday extended heartfelt greetings to the people of the state on the occasion of Maha Shivratri.

In a post on X, the Chief Minister described Maha Shivratri as a great festival of devotion dedicated to Lord Bholenath and conveyed his greetings to the citizens.

"Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes on the great festival of devotion to Lord Bholenath-Mahashivratri. We pray to Devadhidev Mahadev ji to always keep His grace upon all of us and to fulfil everyone's heartfelt wishes," his post read.

Yesterday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also extended warm wishes on the occasion of Mahashivratri and said, "I extend my best wishes to every block and all the people on Shivratri tomorrow. I thank Block Chief Brijesh Ji for developing this block with 1.25 lakh crore rupees. Now you can reach Lucknow from Jungle Kaudiya in 3 hours."

Devotees across the country gathered in massive numbers in temples to celebrate the auspicious occasion of Mahashivaratri today.

The temple premises witnessed an overwhelming turnout, with worshippers lining up since early morning to seek blessings.

Mahashivratri, celebrated across India with great devotion, marks the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Devotees observe fasts, offer prayers, and participate in night-long vigils to seek the deity's blessings.

According to Hindu mythology, on the night of their wedding, Lord Shiva was escorted to Goddess Parvati's house by a diverse group of Hindu gods, goddesses, animals, and demons. The Shiva-Shakti duo is considered the epitome of love, power, and togetherness. The festival marking their sacred union, Mahashivaratri, is celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm across India.

Good to see CMs across states uniting in their wishes for this sacred festival. The real celebration, however, is in the temples and homes of devotees. Spent the night in jaagran at my local Shiva temple. The energy was divine.

While the wishes are appreciated, I hope the focus also remains on developing infrastructure around major temples like Kedarnath and Badrinath. The footfall is massive during festivals, and facilities need to keep up. Safety and cleanliness are also a form of devotion.

The description of the festival's mythology is beautiful. As someone new to India, learning about the story of Shiva and Parvati's union adds so much depth to seeing the celebrations. The devotion is truly inspiring.

Om Namah Shivaya! The Mahamrityunjay Mantra shared by CM Dhami is so powerful. On this day, let's remember the essence of Shiva - the destroyer of evil and ignorance. May we all strive to be better. Fast broken, feeling blessed.

The lines at the temple started at 4 AM! But the wait was worth it. The sense of community, the chanting, the bells... it's an experience that connects you to something much larger. This is the real India, beyond politics and headlines.
