Frequently asked questions
How many Masik Shivratri are in 2027?+
There are 13 Masik Shivratri in 2027 for the Delhi region — one each lunar month, of which Phalguna’s is Maha Shivratri.
When is the puja done?+
Shiva is worshipped during nishita kaal — roughly midnight — on Krishna Chaturdashi. The vrat is kept through the day and night.
How is it different from Maha Shivratri?+
Maha Shivratri is the Masik Shivratri of the month of Phalguna and is the grandest of the year; the others are the monthly observances.
How is Masik Shivratri observed?+
Devotees fast through the day, keep a night vigil (jagran), and worship Shiva during nishita kaal at midnight — offering water, milk, bilva leaves and a lamp to the lingam, and chanting Om Namah Shivaya. Practice varies by devotion.
What is the difference between Masik Shivratri and Pradosh Vrat?+
Both honour Shiva but fall on different tithis — Pradosh on Trayodashi (13th) at dusk, Masik Shivratri on Chaturdashi (14th) of the waning fortnight at midnight nishita kaal. They occur close together each month.
What can you eat on Masik Shivratri?+
Many keep a nirjala or fruit fast until the puja; permitted foods are fruit, milk, sabudana and rock salt, avoiding grains. The strictness is a personal choice.
