This year, Mahashivratri falls on March 11, 2021.

Highlights

  • This year, Mahashivratri falls on March 11, 2021.
  • On this day, people generally fast for the whole day.
  • Sabudana and its recipes make a popular vrat food choice for many.

India is all set to celebrate Mahashivratri on March 11, 2021. One of the biggest festivals of the Hindus, it is celebrated annually on the 13th night and 14th day of Krishna Paksha in Phalguna (February/March) of Hindu calendar. On this day, devotees offer their prayers to Lord Shiva and bathe the Jyotirlinga (a representation of Lord Shiva) with milk, flowers and fruits. Some even keep ‘nirjala’ fast for the whole day and worship the deity at night and break their fast with sattvik food. When we talk about sattvik food, the first dish that comes in mind is sabudana khichdi. Sabudana, or tapioca pearls, is one of the most popular vrat food across India. Loaded with carbs or starch, sabudana helps refuel us with the lost energy. This factor makes sabudana a preferred food ingredient during any kind of Puja.
