Through her devotion and persuasion by sages devas, Parvati was finally able to lure Shiva into marriage and away from asceticism. Their marriage was solemnized a day before Amavasya in the month of Phalgun. This day of union of God Shiva and Parvati is celebrated as Mahashivratri every year. — Image: Lord Shiva and Ma Parvati giving bath to baby Ganesha.
