Chapter 4:--... "wedding day of Shiva and Parvati"--.

Shiva is also at the center of many Hindu celebrations and holy days. Monday is considered to be the holy day of Shiva, and many unmarried women take part in the Solah Somvar Vrat, a fast dedicated to Shiva. Every Monday for sixteen weeks, a woman will fast and pray to Shiva for a good husband. This fast can be done anytime of the year. Shivatri is the main festival of Shiva, and takes place in January or February. On this day, Hindus observe a strict fast. Shiva lingas are bathed in milk, curd, ghee, and honey and offerings of fruit are left to Shiva. Devotees cover their bodies in ash to represent Shiva's role as the Great Ascetic, and some bathe in the holy Ganges river. There is some discrepancy as to what event the Shivratri celebrates. One legend claims it be the the day that Shiva drank the poison to save mankind, while another claims it be the wedding day of Shiva and Parvati.

Hindus say that Shiva is "anand", which means that he was neither found born or found dead. His power is endless and his wisdom is all-knowing. This mysticism is what has made Shiva such a revered and heavily worshipped god. His mystery and paradoxical nature only add to the idea of his power and omnipresence. Shiva was and continues to be one of the most central figures in Hinduism, and the devotion that he has inspired will continue to shape the history of Hinduism for centuries to come.....🙏🏻🕉️🙏🏻....
