Mahashivratri is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in India. On this auspicious day, followers and devotees of Lord Shiva observe fast and special puja is performed in several temples across the world. While priests at Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain performed `Bhasma Aarti`, a Bhubaneswar-based miniature artist L Eswar Rao crafted an eco-friendly idol of a ‘Shivling’ inside a bottle. Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik created an idol of Lord Shiva using over 23,000 rudrakshas on the sand.
