The day of Mahashivratri is very special for everyone. Every year Mahashivratri is celebrated on the Chaturdashi date of Krishna Paksha of Phalgun month. This year this date is falling on 8 March. In such a situation, the festival of Mahashivratri will be celebrated on March 8 only.

If beliefs are to be believed, the festival of Mahashivratri is celebrated to commemorate the marriage of Mother Parvati and Lord Shiva. On this day, people offer prayers in temples to please Lord Bholenath. Along with this, many people also keep fast on this day.

Although one has to eat fruits during Mahashivratri fast, many people do not eat salt in it. In such a situation, a big problem arises if one does not want to eat salt then what can he eat during the fast? If you are also thinking of fasting without salt, then we are going to tell you some food options. So that you do not remain hungry on the fasting day.

Makhana Kheer
Makhana kheer is the best option to eat during the fast and to offer it to Bholenath. One gets full after eating it. Secondly, it does not contain salt. In such a situation, if you do not eat salt during the fast, then you can make Makhana Kheer at home.

Fried potatoes
You can make spicy potatoes and eat them with sweet curd. Use green chilies while frying potatoes. This will increase the taste of potatoes. If you eat it with sweet curd, it will fill your stomach.

Milk Shake
If you feel like drinking something cold then you can make a makhana shake or milk shake for yourself during the fast. Drinking milk shakes also keeps the stomach full for a long time. It is also quite nutritious.

Sabudana Kheer
Many people prepare sago khichdi and eat it during the fast. If you do not eat salt then you can prepare sago kheer instead of khichdi. This also tastes delicious. It can also be offered.
