Community participation is a key feature of the festival. Many devotees bring offerings such as fruits, milk and bilva leaves while volunteers assist in organizing rituals and distributing prasadam to everyone present. Cultural programs and spiritual discourses are often arranged, emphasizing the significance of self-discipline, devotion and moral living as reflected in Shivarathri traditions.
The midnight pooja is considered the most sacred moment of the festival. The deity is worshipped with special abhishekams and devotees offer prayers with utmost reverence believing that this divine communion brings inner peace and spiritual growth.
