When Maha Shivaratri Falls
Chaturdashi of the Krishna Paksha in Magha or Phalguna.
The Gregorian date moves each year with the panchanga. Message us and we will confirm this year's date and the muhurat converted to your local time — before you commit to anything.
Why Families Abroad Book This One
Families abroad book the full four-prahara abhishekam at a temple or at their parents' home, and join for whichever prahara suits their clock. Devotees who keep the fast personally ask for the sankalp to be taken in their name so the vrat is bound to them even though the abhishekam happens in India.
What the Pandit Performs
The full sequence, whether or not you are on the call. Anything your family tradition adds or omits, tell us and we follow yours.
- 1Four-prahara abhishekam through the night, each with its own dravya
