Even the moon rests on his head tonight, humbled beside a greater light.

The story goes that this is the night Shiva and Parvati wed — may your bonds be as eternal.

त्रिनेत्रधारी की कृपा से अज्ञान का अंधकार सदा के लिए मिटे।

Wishing you the divine blessings of Bholenath this Maha Shivratri.

Somewhere a diya flickers for Shiva, and somehow the whole night feels lighter.
