1. '''Maha Shivaratri''': Maha Shivaratri, which usually falls in February or March, is one of the most significant festivals dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is celebrated with great enthusiasm at Shiva temples, including Sri Bhoothnath Mandir. Devotees fast, perform night-long vigil, and offer prayers and abhishekam to Lord Shiva on this day.
 
2. '''Shravan Month''': The entire month of Shravan (usually in July-August) is considered highly auspicious for Lord Shiva. Devotees visit Shiva temples regularly during this month, offer prayers, and perform abhishekam with holy water, milk, and other sacred substances.
 
3. '''Pradosha Vrata''': Pradosha is a fortnightly occurrence that falls on the 13th day of each lunar fortnight. It is a time when special prayers and pujas are performed in honor of Lord Shiva. Devotees visit the temple during Pradosha to seek Lord Shiva's blessings.
 
4. '''Shiva Ratri''': This is another important Shiva-related festival that celebrates the day of Lord Shiva's marriage to Goddess Parvati. It is typically observed in the lunar month of Phalgun (February-March).
 
5. '''Karthik Purnima''': Karthik Purnima is celebrated on the full moon day in the Hindu month of Karthik (usually in November). Devotees visit Shiva temples and light lamps to honor Lord Shiva.
 
6. '''Sawan Somvar''': During the month of Shravan, Mondays (Somvar) are considered especially sacred for Lord Shiva. Devotees often observe fasting and visit Shiva temples on these days.
 
7. '''Other Hindu Festivals''': In addition to the specific Shiva festivals, the temple would also likely celebrate other Hindu festivals such as Diwali, Holi, and Navaratri, although the focus during these festivals might be more on general Hindu deities.<ref>{{Cite web |title=बाबा भूतनाथ मंदिर भागलपुर : महादेव संग गुलाल खेल, रात भर जागरण में झूमे दर्शक - Baba Bhootnath Temple Bhagalpur: Gulal Holi with Mahadev, spectators danced in Jagran throughout the night |url=https://www.jagran.com/bihar/bhagalpur-baba-bhootnath-temple-bhagalpur-gulal-holi-with-mahadev-spectators-danced-in-jagran-throughout-the-night-22559140.html |access-date=2023-10-28 |website=Jagran |language=hi}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-07-19 |title=भागलपुर में बाबा भूतनाथ का किया गया भव्य श्रृंगार, भक्तों की लगी भीड़ |url=https://hindi.news18.com/photogallery/bihar/bhagalpur-baba-bhootnaths-grand-makeup-done-in-bhagalpur-crowd-of-devotees-6924047.html |access-date=2023-10-28 |website=News18 हिंदी |language=hi}}</ref>
