According to the Hindu calendars of North and South India, this day falls in the months of Phalguna and Magha, respectively. At the Chidambaram temple, which is well-known for its sculptures depicting all dance mudras from the ancient Hindu canon of performance arts known as Natya Shastra, this event is known as Natyanjali, which literally means “worship via dance.” Parallel to this, Alexander Cunningham noted in 1864 that at the Khajuraho Shiva temples, a significant fair and dance event on Maha Shivaratri had Shaiva pilgrims camped out over miles around the temple complex.
