Every year this festival is celebrated on the Chaturdashi date of Krishna Paksha of Falgun month, so this year Mahashivratri will be celebrated on Wednesday, 26 February.

Salt should not be consumed even by mistake during the fast of Mahashivratri. Along with this, a person should sleep during the day, meditate, sing bhajans, and do Jagran of Lord Shiva at night. By keeping all these things in mind, you get the full benefit of Mahashivratri fast.

Do not offer these things
