Monday, March 4 is going to be a very special day for all
the followers of Lord Shiva as it is Maha Shivratri. It is one of the biggest
festivals of India and on this day people praise Lord Shiva and seek his
blessings. Not just that, people observe fast on this day too. There are two
types of fasts that people observe – nirahar and nirjala. While the former is
observed without eating any solid food like, rice, grain pulses, when observing
the latter, you are not allowed to drink water too.
If you are observing fast on this day then you should not
eat pulses and grains because Mahashivratri fasts should be nirahar which means
you shouldn’t eat solid food.
Fasting also requires you avoiding spices and veggies like
onion, garlic, etc. as the former might make your stomach upset and the latter
hinders the spiritual process.
Abstain from consuming aerated beverages or packed and
canned juices and fruits as they contain preservatives and during the fast, you
should strictly avoid it.
Try to avoid eating these things when you break the fast too
as it might make your stomach upset. Eat things like dalia, khichdi etc. that
will keep the digestion process easy.
