Many Hindus celebrate Shivratri in Sindh Pakistan peacefully

#Sindh is perfect example of Religious tolerance here Hindus can celebrate their religious festivals and Muslims participate with them in celebrations and wish them vice versa for both communities either it is Eid Ramadan or it is Holi or Deewali.
Today many Hindus celebrated Shivratri peacefully in various cities and villages of Sindh where Muslims also joined them I witnessed several celebrations with my eyes here in Hyderabad and nearby.
The devotees performed a ritual where Shiva was bathed with milk and honey. In the evening, they carried out a mehndi and sehra bandi where young, unmarried girls prayed for wedlock and married women asked for Shiva’s blessing, children and the wellbeing of their husband and sons.
The temple reverberated with the sound of bells and shouts of “Shankerji ki jai”. Devotees walked around the lingam, a mark which represents Shiva, three or seven times and then poured water over it; some poured milk.
