Hindus Celebrate Maha Shivratri

Tamil Hindu girls perform a classical Bharatnatyman dance honouring Lord Shiva during the Maha Shivaratri Festival at a Tamil Hindu temple in Ontario, Canada, on February 13, 2018. Maha Shivaratri which means 'the Great Night of Lord Shiva', is an occasion where Hindu devotees keep awake all-night and offer all-night prayers at temples devoted to Lord Shiva. The significance of dance to this festival has historical roots. Maha Shivaratri has served as a historic confluence of artists for annual dance festivals at major Hindu temples.
