Dear Dawn, The 14th day in each lunar fortnight is called Chathurdashi in Sanskrit. The Chathurdashi of the waning fortnight (known as Krishna paksha) is also called Shivaratri, so we have one every lunar month. The Chaturdashi of the Krishna paksha of the Magh month is called Mahashivaratri. Hope this helps. Jai Maa Nanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
