Maha Shiva Ratri festival in Sivasagar Assam

The biggest festival in upper Assam's Sivasagar district is neither Bihu nor Durgapuja! Because no other festival could attract the biggest traffic to Sivasagar district so far like the Maha Shivaratri. Jokes apart, Shivaratri is truely the biggest festival because people irrespective of their cast, creed, religion and identity takes part the Maha Shivaratri , though not in the religious rituals they take part in the huge mela in the Shiva Dol(Shiva Temple) during the Maha Shivaratri days.


Another reason why I am not saying in the day of Shivaratri and deliberately mentioning it as Shivaratri days is that in Sivasagar Shivaratri is a Grand three day Maha Shivaratri affair which sometimes spreads to the fourth day.
