    Seems so. Anyway there nothing wrong in celebrating the pooja on both the days.

    Vidhya, in India its tomorrow looks like (that's 12th)

    Shivarathri is celebrated on 13th or 14th night of new moon during krishna paksha. So either of the two days should be fine. In many US temples, they try to match up with India calender (today is 12th in India right).

    Are you fasting on one of these days?

    Hello Dear

    Yes seems like this year there is lot confusion...some temples in US are celebrating on 11th and some on 12th and some are saying its 13th...

    However I have decided to do pooja at home on 11th and 12th. am fasting on both days but would have some thing thats not made of rice once at night. (just to keep myself energized..:crazy)
