Mahashivratri will be celebrated on 8th March this year. It is an important religious festival for the Hindus which is celebrated in the honour of Lord Shiva.People who celebrate the festival not only chant prayers and sing hymns but also observe a fast which is referred to as 'Mahashivratri Vrat'. Many people even observe 'Nirjala vrat' in which they have to stay without food and water. It is one of the toughest fasts and very few can observe it for the entire day. Devotees throng temples in huge numbers and offer their prayers. Milk-based dishesDairy products such as milk, yogurt, and paneer (cottage cheese) are commonly consumed. They are rich in protein, calcium, and other nutrients, providing sustenance throughout the day.
