Jeth
Mahashivratri is an auspicious day symbolizing the wedding of Shiv and Parvati. This festival comes in the month of February or march about 15 days before holi. The married and the unmarried girls perform puja with great faith, fervor and feeling, since Parvati is considered 'Gaura' the giver of 'Suhag' - married bliss and a long and prosperous married life. The unmarried girls pray to 'Guara' to give them handsome husbands with wealth, knowledge and talent.

The real celebration of Shivratri takes place in the temples on the night of ' Chauthas' or 'Choudesh' (fourteenth day of the waxing moon) and lasts till the morning of Amavas (dark night) although the wedding starts from Terash (thirteenth day of the waxing moon) and singing continues throughout the night in the temples. On Choudesh night everyone who wants t o take part in the pujan is individually given a Shiv ling by the temple management - this ling is placed in front of the person. A medium-sized vessel with a narrow neck known as kalsa is also placed near that person and is filled with water mixed with milk, and also leaves of the 'bel' tree, flowers and fruit. Roli, aipun and rice along with water for pujan are kept individually.
