• Maha Shivaratri 2026 falls on February 15, a Sunday, an auspicious day for Shiva devotees.
• Astrologer Pandit Nand Kishor Mudgal highlights three crucial items for complete Shiva worship: Bhasmam, Belpatra, and Rudraksha.
• Lingodbhavam, Lord Shiva's manifestation time, is from 12:09 AM to 01:01 AM on February 15, considered highly auspicious for worship.
• Offering Bhasmam (sacred ash) symbolizes letting go of ego and provides a divine protective shield, eliminating negative energy.
