Maha Shivratri Puja Vidhi

Fasting on Maha Shivratri is a very old tradition. Devotees take a holy dip in the river on Shivratri and visit a nearby Shiva temple for darshan and puja. The next day, an abhishek (bathing Shiva idols) is performed in temples. The abhishek is performed using different thimgs like milk, rose water, sandalwood paste, yogurt, honey, ghee, sugar and water. Devotees also pour a mix of all these items on the Shivling while chanting mantras.

Various items like the bilipatra and dhatura flowers and several kinds of fruits are offered. Devotees fast for the entire day; some do eat fruits and drink coconut water. Some devotees do nirjala upvaas or fast without even drinking water. 

Puja for Maha Shivratri is done in all the four prahars through the night. Prahar refers to the different times of the day. In India, a day is divided into ashta prahar or eight three-hour periods.
