Mahashivratri 2019 significance
Mahashivratri is almost at the fag end of the Maagha masam in the Hindu calendar. It is said that Shivaratri marks the union of Shiv and Parvati. It is also said that it was on this day that the Lord saved the world from the pot of poison which came from the milky ocean.
As per Hindu scriptures, the poison termed as 'Halahal' could have destroyed the universe. It was then that Mahadev Shiva consumed the poison and held it in his throat because of which it turned blue. Ever since he's called Neelkanth.
