For producer Chitra Vakil Sharma, Mahashivratri is more than just a festival—it’s a sacred night of introspection, devotion, and surrender. Known for projects like Tandoor, Rakthanchal, Bhram, Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, and Pehle Pyaar – Less Than 1% Chance, Chitra shares how this day holds profound spiritual significance for her.
“Mahashivratri isn’t just another festival for me; it’s a night of deep connection, surrender, and stillness. The energy around feels different—more alive, more powerful. It’s not just about rituals but about experiencing Shiva as a presence within. It’s about letting go, quieting the mind, and dissolving into that stillness,” she says.
As the founder of Jupiter Hub on YouTube, Chitra’s spiritual journey is deeply connected to sound. “On this night, I listen to my chants in complete silence. Chants aren’t just music; they are vibrations that align us with something far beyond words.”
Her devotion has taken her to almost all Jyotirlingas and numerous Shiva temples across India. She emphasizes, “Shiva is everywhere, yet within.”

Chitra has been fasting on Mahashivratri since the age of 10, gradually progressing to Nirjala Vrat—no food, no water, just devotion. “For me, this day is sacred. No work, no distractions—only my time with my Supreme Power. The world can wait, but this day belongs to Shiva.”
Professionally, Mahashivratri reinforces her purpose: “Sound is not just entertainment—it has the power to heal, transform, and elevate the soul. Every chant I share through Jupiter Hub carries that power.”
For Chitra, fasting isn’t just about abstaining from food but about self-awareness and purification. “A true fast is about watching your actions, words, and thoughts. When done with the right intention, it doesn’t weaken you—it makes you powerful. Just think of Shiva, and you’ll have all the energy you need.”
