Ideally, Lord Shiva should be worshipped throughout the year. However, there is one specific day in the year that is dedicated to Lord Shiva. If devotees observe a fast and worship Lord Shiva in all four phases of the day on this auspicious date, Lord Shiva is extremely pleased and fulfills all their wishes. This day is called Mahashivratri. According to the scriptures, on Mahashivratri, all Shiva temples are decorated, and Lord Shiva is worshipped in all four phases of the day. What special conjunctions are forming this year on Mahashivratri, and when is Mahashivratri? Let's find out from the astrologer of Deoghar.
What does the astrologer of Deoghar say?
Pandit Nandkishore Mudgal, a renowned astrologer from Mudgal Jyotish Kendra at Pagal Baba Ashram in Deoghar, said in a conversation that the day of Mahashivratri is very special for devotees because Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati are worshipped with special rituals on this day. This year, Mahashivratri will be celebrated on February 15th. According to the scriptures, the marriage of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati took place on Mahashivratri. Therefore, on Mahashivratri, a grand procession of Lord Shiva's wedding is also taken out from all Shiva temples.
An extremely rare conjunction is forming on Mahashivratri
In 2026, Mahashivratri will be celebrated on February 15th, and a very rare conjunction is also going to form on this day. The astrologer says that according to the Rishikesh Panchang, the conjunction of Trayodashi followed by Chaturdashi is going to form on Mahashivratri, which is extremely auspicious.
The conjunction of Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga will be present
From 7:45 AM to 7:00 PM on February 15th, Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga will be present. Worshipping Lord Shiva during this yoga fulfills all desires. If you want to perform Rudrabhishek, you can definitely do so during Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga on Mahashivratri.
The conjunction of Shravana Nakshatra and Shivavas will be present
Shivavas (Lord Shiva's presence) is always there on Mahashivratri, and in addition, Shravana Nakshatra will begin after 7:48 PM on this day. This constellation is considered the best for worshipping Lord Shiva.
Worship Lord Shiva using this method:
Astrologers say that on the day of Mahashivratri, Lord Shiva should be worshipped using the Shodashopachara method (sixteen-step ritual) in four phases, and anointing (Abhishekam) of Lord Shiva should be performed during the evening, i.e., during the Pradosh period. Doing so on Mahashivratri will eliminate all your sorrows, troubles, diseases, and poverty, and bring increased happiness and prosperity into your life.
