Keeping with tradition on Mahashivaratri, the meteorological department in Jammu and Kashmir has forecast snowfall and rains on the night of the annual festival.
Mahashivaratri or Herath as it is known locally, which falls on the intervening night of February 20-21, is a festival celebrated annually to honour Lord Shiva and also marks the day of the marriage between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati.
In a weather bulletin issued on Wednesday, the meteorological department's director Sonam Lotus said, "Friends, greetings to all on the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivratri 2020. The day is unique, special and auspicious from the weather point of view."
