About Maha Shivaratri

Maha Shivaratri, the Great Night of Shiva, is one of the biggest Hindu festivals in Nepal. Hundreds of thousands of devotees and thousands of sadhus gather at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu. People fast, stay awake through the night, bathe in the Bagmati river and offer bel leaves and milk to the Shiva lingam.

How the countdown works

The counter runs to midnight at the start of the festival day in Nepal (UTC+5:45), so it is correct wherever you are in the world. Maha Shivaratri depends on the lunar calendar, so its English date changes each year and is confirmed shortly before the festival. When the festival has passed, the page tells you when the next date is available.
