In Kashmir Shaivism, Maha Shivaratri is celebrated by the Hindus of Kashmir and is known as Herath. Prayers held on the day after nightlong Maha-Shivaratri are called 'salaam'. According to history, the word 'salaam' got incorporated in Kashmiri Pandits' tradition when Jabbar Khan forced them to celebrate Maha-Shivaratri in July to see whether it would snow if the festival is celebrated in the summer.
