Shiv Puja

शिव पूजा भगवान शिव को समर्पित है और विशेष रूप से सोमवार, प्रदोष, महाशिवरात्रि तथा श्रावण में की जाती है। जल, बिल्वपत्र और मंत्र के साथ शिवलिंग का अभिषेक इसका मुख्य अंग है।
( स्थान तैयार करें )
Shivalingam (or image of Lord Shiva) — even a natural stone can serve
Water (from a copper vessel if possible)
Panchamrit: milk, curd, ghee, honey, sugar
Bilva (bel) leaves — three-lobed, symbolising Shiva's trident. The most essential offering
Dhatura flowers and cannabis leaves (traditional offerings, used ceremonially, not consumed)
White flowers (especially jasmine and white lotus) — red flowers are offered to Durga, not Shiva
Vibhuti (sacred ash) — rubbed on the Lingam and applied on the forehead
Incense, camphor, and a sesame oil or ghee lamp
Blue or white cloth for altar
( विधि का पालन करें )
Clean the Shivalingam and altar with water. Sankalp: state your name, gotra, and intention for the puja
Perform Panchamrit abhishek: pour milk, curd, ghee, honey, and sugar over the Lingam, one at a time, chanting 'Om Namah Shivaya' with each
Bathe the Lingam with clean water to complete the abhishek
Apply vibhuti (sacred ash) to the Lingam and to your forehead at the tripundra (three horizontal lines)
Offer Bilva leaves: 3, 11, 21, or 108 leaves, with each offered with 'Om Namah Shivaya'. This is the most powerful offering to Shiva
Offer flowers, dhatura (if available), and datura or Akanda flowers as traditional Shiva offerings
Light the lamp and incense. Chant Om Namah Shivaya 108 times on a rudraksha mala
Recite the Shiva Chalisa or Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra 108 times. Conclude with Shiva Aarti

Monday (Somvar) Shiv puja begins with a bath before sunrise. The Shivalingam is bathed with water or Panchamrit (milk, curd, ghee, honey, sugar). Bilva leaves are offered, then flowers, vibhuti, and a lamp is lit. Om Namah Shivaya is chanted 108 times on a rudraksha mala. Fasting (eating only fruits, milk, and one meal after sunset) is traditional on Mondays dedicated to Shiva.
Tulsi leaves, kumkum (vermillion), red flowers (especially red hibiscus), and conch shell water should not be offered to Shiva (these are Vishnu's offerings). According to Shiva Purana, turmeric should also not be applied to the Shivalingam (though it is used for Shiva's consort Parvati). Coconut water and cow's milk are particularly auspicious.
Maha Shivratri falls on the 14th (Chaturdashi) of the Krishna Paksha in the month of Phalguna (February–March). It is the most important night of the year for Shiva worship. Devotees fast all day, observe a vigil through the night (jaagran), perform four abhisheks at the four prahar (three-hour periods of the night), and recite the Shiva Sahasranama or Lingashtakam. Visiting a Jyotirlinga temple (the 12 primary Shiva shrines) on Maha Shivratri is considered especially meritorious.
