Mahashivaratri or the great night of Siva falls on the night before the no moon day in the month of Phalgun (February/march). It is observed and celebrated in worship of Lord Siva, one among the quintessential Hindu trinity. There are many stories behind the observance of Mahasivaratri. One is that it was on this day that Lord Siva wed his divine consort goddess Parvati. Some say it was on this day he manifested himself as Lingum(the great phallus) to make people aware of the eternal nature of time. Lord Siva is believed to be extremely generous. People sing songs praising the lord to the accompaniment of Dhols (drums) and pray all night-long during Mahasivaratri. In many parts of north India people drink Bhang lassi(a drink made using extracts from cannabis and having similar effects as other eaten forms of marijuana) on the occasion.
