  Happy Maha Shivratri 2025 wishes, images, wallpapers, quotes, SMS, WhatsApp and Facebook status to share on Mahashivratri. Let us first understand the essence and significance of Mahashivratri: Mahashivratri, the “Great Night of Shiva,” is one of the most fortunate nights in the Hindu calendar, dedicated to Lord Shiva, the cosmic transformer, and is believed to be the night when the divine energy is at its peak. It is an opportunity to dissolve negative karma and open oneself to divine grace. Mahashivratri is the night when Lord Shiva and Shakti get married again. As Shiva arrived with his entire marriage procession, including ghosts (bhoot), spirits (pret), sages (rishis), and saints (munis), he did not appear as a traditional groom. Instead, he appeared, in Aghori form. However, Goddess Parvati accepted him wholeheartedly as her husband just as he was. On her acceptance, Shiva transformed into the most dashing and divine presence. This sacred night signifies acceptance, the bal...

  Mohammad Kaif called out the concerned authorities at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium for not covering the entire ground Former India batter  Mohammad Kaif  called out the concerned authorities at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium for not covering the entire ground as rain played spoilsport in the  ICC Men's Champions Trophy  Group B fixture between Australia and South Africa.

The former India cricketer also raised a question, asking whether the money granted by the ICC was used wisely by hosts  Pakistan . "It's a shame that the Rawalpindi ground isn't fully covered. Such an important match - SA vs Aus - might go down the drain because no one addre...

  Maha Kumbh: Local unauthorised bike taxis offer 'Dhoom'-style quick and not-so-smooth commute Amar is in his late 30s and does odd jobs in Mumbai. He manages to earn anything between Rs 25,000 to Rs 30,000 per month when in Mumbai and stays in a small room with friends in the far-flung suburbs of the city. Since January, however, Amar has shifted his base to his hometown Prayagraj and the ongoing Maha Kumbh has proved to be a real blessing for Amar and many like Amar who own a bike and do not mind ferrying people in the Maha Kumbh area and also across the city for sightseeing. “Since the Maha Kumbh began, I have made around Rs 1.5 lakh till now and that is what matters to me more than anything else,” says Amar when I asked him about his experience of Maha Kumbh – I was there in Prayagraj earlier this month. As mentioned earlier, Amar is not alone. One can find such unauthorised “bikers” or “bike taxis”, as many call it, all across the Maha Kumbh area and one can hire them to ...

  Devotees flock for final holy dip as Maha Kumbh marks grand culmination today Hundreds of thousands of devotees began gathering at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj for a holy dip on Mahashivratri, as the six-week-long Maha Kumbh Mela--held once every 12 years and believed to grant 'moksha'--is set to conclude on Wednesday. Mahashivratri marks the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and holds profound significance in the context of the Kumbh Mela. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva played a pivotal role in the Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean), which led to the emergence of the Amrit Kumbh (nectar pitcher)--the very essence of the Kumbh Mela. The occasion draws massive crowds of devotees to the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati, revered as a holy site by Hindus. On Tuesday, an estimated 1.33 crore devotees took a holy dip at the Sangam and other ghats in the Mela area, pushing the overall footfall for the Maha Kumbh 2025 b...

  SC says 'disgusting' Delhi HC passing 30-40 pages pre-arrest bail orders New Delhi, Feb 21 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Friday expressed reservations over the Delhi High Court passing 30 to 40 pages anticipatory bail orders and said it was "something disgusting". A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh which was hearing an appeal against a high court order said, "What is happening in the Delhi High Court is something disgusting. The high court writing 30-40 pages while disposing of an anticipatory bail plea is like hinting the trial court that here is a reason for you to convict. Essentially, it's a conviction order." The top court was hearing the bail plea of medical practitioner Aadhar Khera in a cheating case. Khera moved the top court against the order of the Delhi High Court, which in its 34-page order on February 6, denied him the reprieve. Senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Khera, submitted it was the petitioner's fath...
