Mahashivratri kirtan is a passionate, overnight musical celebration dedicated to Lord Shiva, usually held on the 14th night of the waning moon in Phalguna. Devotees gather in temples to sing hymns, bhajans, and chant "Om Namah Shivaya" while meditating, staying awake throughout the night (Jagarana) to honor the divine union of Shiva and Parvati.
Detailed Description of Mahashivratri Kirtan
Atmosphere and Setting:
The atmosphere is electric and deeply spiritual, filled with incense, sounds of bells, and conch shells. Temples are decorated, and thousands of devotees gather to create a high-energy, meditative environment.
The Chanting (Kirtan):
The core of the night revolves around the rhythmic chanting of the Panchakshara mantra, "Om Namah Shivaya". This is often accompanied by traditional instruments like the dholak, tabla, cymbals (manjira), and harmonium.
Musical Themes: The bhajans often narrate tales of Lord Shiva, his Tandava dance, his marriage, and his role as the destroyer of evil.
Popular chants include the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (Om Tryambakam Yajamahe).
Four Prahars of Worship:
The kirtan usually continues through all four Prahars (parts) of the night, with the intensity of the music and chanting increasing as dawn approaches.
Purpose:
The goal of the night-long kirtan is to stay awake (Jagaran) to align one's energy with the natural upward movement of energy in the human system, facilitating meditation and inner peace.
This, combined with offerings of Bel leaves and water to the Shiva Linga, makes the Kirtan a central, transformative ritual of the festival.
