Maha Shivaratri is a Hindu festival celebrated annually in honour of Lord Shiva. Every year the festival is celebrated on the 4th of March. This year too millions of devotees are eagerly waiting for the day to pay homage to their prime God.

Devotees also visit temples and do Shivalinga worship. If you are planning to visit Sri Lanka during the festival time you should consider visiting the Koneswaram Temple which is located in Trincomalee.
