What should Shiva ji offer first?

Worshiping Lord Shiva has special significance in Hinduism. Especially the day of Mahashivaratri is considered to be the best from the worship of Lord Shiva. Please tell that the festival of Mahashivaratri is on 26 February 2025 this year.

All worship Lord Shiva on the auspicious occasion of Mahashivaratri. On Mahashivaratri, especially the worship of Lord Shiva, ie Shivalinga is important. But there are also some important rules of Shivalinga Puja, which need to be followed.

During the puja, fruits, flowers, belpatra, water etc. and many types of materials are offered on the Shivling. But it is very important to know what to offer on Shivling first. Because worship is the benefit of worship only or by offering things according to rules.

While worshiping Shivling, devotees should first offer water. First of all, the importance of offering water is that Shiva is cold by performing Jalabhishek. Instead of standing straight on the Shivling, water should be offered by sitting or bending.

After offering water, you can also offer milk, curd and honey etc. on the Shivling. But after this, there is a rule to bathe again with water. After this, you offer fruits, flowers, belpatra, dhatura etc.

To offer water to the Shivling, first one should offer water to the right of Shillling and then to the left place. After this, water should be offered on the round of the Shivling, then the middle part and then the Shivling. Ganesh, Karthikeya, Mata Parvati and daughter Ashok Sundari are worshiped on offering water by this method.
