This year, Mahashivratri will be celebrated across the country on February 15th, and February 15th is a Sunday. Therefore, schools will be closed on this day.

Special Programs Organized in Many States
Mahashivratri is celebrated in a very special way in Kashi, the city of Lord Shiva. Many programs will be organized in the city before February 15th. Some schools may also be given a holiday on Saturday, February 14th, so that children can participate in these programs. However, no holiday has been announced by the administration.

Special events are being organized in many states to mark Mahashivratri. In the religious city of Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, the Vikramotsav will begin on February 15th and continue until March 19th.
