What Is Shivratri And Why Is It Celebrated?

Shivratri is a night or day dedicated to Lord Shiva. Although there are many Shivratri’s throughout the year, Maha Shivratri is celebrated once a year as the biggest festival for Lord Shiva.

Maha Shivratri is a day for the followers of Lord Shiva to perform rituals and prayers, observe a fast, seek spiritual power, meditate and enhance divine consciousness and realize the victory of light over darkness.

How Is Shivratri Celebrated?

Shivratri is a sacred festival for Hindus, and the traditions differ from family to family and region to region.

Here are some of the most common Shivratri traditions and customs:

1. Shivratri Fasting  Most people take a vow of a Shivratri fast (Shivratri Vrat) as a token of devotion to Lord Shiva and to keep themselves disciplined. Some people fast completely while others keep it fruit and milk-based.

2. Jalabhishek and Puja It is believed that taking a holy bath on Shivratri washes away sins. Lord Shiva’s temples and home shrines are decorated on this day. Most people perform Jalabhishek (offerings of water, milk, and leaves) and puja to Lord Shiva.

3. Chanting and Meditation Most Shiva worshippers chant the sacred mantra Om Namah Shivaye and meditate on Lord Shiva. Shivratri is also considered an excellent day for meditation, prayers, and spiritual uplifting.

4. Night Vigils Many people observe the night-long vigil known as Jagran. Devotees spend the whole night chanting hymns and listening to Shiva’s tales.

This Shivratri, Let’s Care About What Truly Matters

Festivals allow us to reconnect with the ones we love and care about. Although we all pray to Lord Shiva for the well-being of our families, it is important to also think about how we can secure a financially stable future if an unfortunate medical emergency occurs.

A comprehensive HEALTH INSURANCE policy can help you bear a significant percentage of the expenditures incurred due to an unforeseen hospitalization, depending upon the plan chosen.

Health insurance is something we need to purchase while we are healthy. A good insurance plan comes with an extensive list of cashless treatments, riders, and other benefits, along with certain waiting periods and exclusions. It is essential to educate ourselves about the health insurance plans available and what they cover.

At Policy Hub, we believe in the power of knowledge. When it comes to health insurance policies, it is important to know how much will be covered under the claim amount, what will not be covered or claimed, and understand the waiting period. Whether you are looking to buy an individual health insurance policy for yourself or your parents, or a family floater policy, Policy Hub can help you find the most reliable and secure health insurance plan for you.
