Hindus in Mansehra Celebrate Shivratri Mela

  • 8 years ago
Mansehra Special Report regarding the 3-day festival appear in the shivratri mela. At the stroke of midnight on the 13th day of Phalguna, the twelfth month of the Hindu calendar, Hindus all around the world remember Lord Shiva. The three-day festival of Shivratri or Great Night of Shiva usually falls between mid-February and early March. It is supposed to fall on a moonless night when Hindus offer a special prayer to Shiva. It is said to be the night when Shiva performed the Tandaya Nritya or the dance of primordial creation, preservation and destruction. In Khyber-Paktunkhwa (K-P), the Hindus gather in a small mandir, which looks much like a house built over 13 marlas, about 30 minutes away from Mansehra in Chiti Gati Gandiyan to celebrate Shivratri. As one of the most auspicious events of the religion, devotees fast during the day and hold vigils during the night.
This year, like the last, security has been tight. Over 700 families from Punjab, K-P, Sindh, Hazara division and a few others from the United Kingdom thronged the streets of Chiti Gati Gandiyan’s Shiv temple.
