Shivratri Auspicious Timings: Mahashivratri is considered to have a special significance in Sanatan Dharma. On this day devotees worship Lord Bholenath and observe a fast to please him. This time the fast of Mahashivratri will be observed on 15th February. This is not the only festival but it reminds us that in the night of extreme darkness, Shiva appears in the form of light.
