Maha Shivaratri is also called Night of Awakening. The day before the Amavasya (new moon) of each lunar month is called Shivaratri. It is the day Lord Shiva was married to Maa Parvati. Maha Shivaratri marks the night when Lord Shiva performed the ′Tandava′.

Among all the Shivaratris of the year, the one that falls in the lunar month of Magha in Feb-March each year is considered to be most auspicious. As per Hindu calendar Maha Shivaratri is observed on the 13th night/14th day in the Krishna Paksha every year on the month of Falgun.

शिवकथा!
बात लगभग सन १३६० के आसपास की है। आज के बिहार के विस्फी गांव में एक कवि हुआ करते थे जिनका नाम था विद्यापति। कवि के साथ - साथ भगवान शिव के अनन्य भक्त और उपासक थे। भगवान शिव ठहरे अवघड़ अवधूत विद्यापति की भक्ति रचनाओं से खुश होकर उनके साथ कुछ समय व्यतीत करने का मन बना लिए।

फिर क्या था एक दिन धर लिए रूप गंवार का और आगए विद्यापति के घर और कहने लगे रख लो नौकर। उनकी दैनिक स्थिति दयनीय थी सो वो राजी नहीं हुए। पर शिव को तो रहना था तो राजी हो गए सिर्फ दो समय के खाने पर हीं। विद्यापति की पत्नी सुशीला ने सुझाया कि रख लो दो समय का खाना हीं तो खाएगा।

एक दिन उगना विद्यापति के साथ राजा के दरबार में जा रहे थे। तेज गर्मी के वजह से विद्यापति का गला सूखने लगा। लेकिन आस-पास जल का कोई स्रोत नहीं था। विद्यापति ने उगना से कहा कि कहीं से जल का प्रबंध करो अन्यथा मैं प्यासा ही मर जाऊंगा।
