On the night of Falgun Krishna Chaturdashi, Maha Shivaratri is being celebrated by worshiping Lord Shiva on Friday night. It is described in the Puranas, including the Purana, that the devotees receive Shiva Shakti both in this world and in the afterlife, from the Lord Shiva of Ashutosh nature who will soon be pleased to worship Shiva this night.
These four nights are considered as the night of great importance, such as Kalaratri, Vadas, Lakshmipuja's Sukharatri, Krishna Janmashtami's Moharatri and Mahashivaratri. It is also said that Mahadev's Rudraphita is celebrated in February, because of the nature of Mahadeva's weeping or destruction.
