Every month Masik Shivratri is observed on the Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi Tithi to celebrate the Linga avatar of Lord Shiva. Therefore, on Shivaratri people worship the Shivling and offer milk, curd and gangajal to the form of Lord Shiva. In July, Krishna Paksha Chaturdashi Tithi of Shravan month is falling on July 26. To celebrate the day, people visit temples and keep fast to please the lord and seek his blessings.
