5 Special Rituals to Perform on Sawan Shivratri 2025
1. Shivling Abhishek (Holy Bath)
Wake up early, bathe, wear clean clothes, and visit a Shiva temple. Chant "Om Namah Shivaya" while performing Abhishek of the Shivling with water, raw milk, honey, ghee, sugarcane juice, and Gangajal. Offer Belpatra, rice, and sandalwood. This removes obstacles and invites peace, health, and prosperity.
2. Jagran and Shiv Chalisa Path
Do Jagran in the night of Sawan Shivratri. Recite Shiv Chalisa, chant Shiva bhajans, and meditate on Mahadev. Doing this attracts divine energy and strengthens spiritual connection.
3. Offer Belpatra & Bhang
Offer fresh Belpatra, Bhang, Dhatura, Akshat (rice), flowers, and incense to Lord Shiva. These are highly auspicious and loved by Mahadev—wishes are fulfilled by this act of pure devotion.
4. Chant Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
Recite ‘Om Namah Shivay’ and Mahamrityunjaya Mantra ‘Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushtivardhanam Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Mamritat’. It brings protection, longevity, and Shiva's grace.
5. Charity and Serving Pilgrims
Donate food, water, clothes, religious books, umbrellas, or essentials to Brahmins and the needy. Do gau-seva. Serve Kanwariyas (pilgrims carrying Ganga water) with food and drinks.
