Maha Shivaratri 2026: Avoid These Mistakes for Shiva's Blessings
•Maha Shivaratri celebrates the wedding of Shiva and Parvati, making it an auspicious day for devotees.
•Do not wear black clothes or use bronze vessels for Abhishek during Shivaratri puja.
•Avoid eating rice; instead, consume fruits for fasting benefits. Prioritize Abhishek over other pujas.
•Never offer Tulasi leaves, kumkum, lotus, Ketaki, or Champaka flowers to the Shiva Lingam; only offer Bilva leaves.
•Refrain from negative thoughts, bad words, lying, anger, and worldly pleasures like romantic activities, excessive screen time, or gambling. Focus solely on Shiva worship and chant the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra.
