Masik Shivaratri in December 2025 falls on Thursday, December 18, 2025 (Pausha month, Krishna Chaturdashi). Masik Shivaratri is observed every month on the 14th day of the waning moon. While Maha Shivaratri (in Phalguna) is the grandest, each monthly Shivaratri is a powerful night for Shiva worship.
