Mahashivratri Puja ki 5 Zaroori Samagri
1. Belpatra - Shiv ji ka Sabse Priya Patra
Belpatra Bhagwan Shiv ko bahut pasand hai. Teen patti wala belpatra Tridev ka prateek mana jata hai. Dhyan rakhein ki patra saaf aur bina toota-phoota ho.
2. Dhatura - Vish ka Prateek
Dhatura Shiv ji ko isliye chadhaya jata hai kyunki unhone samudra manthan ka vish grahan kiya tha. Dhatura arpit karne se negativity aur badhaayein door hoti hain.

3. Kesar - Shubhata & Positivity
Shivling par halka kesar tilak lagana shubh mana jata hai. Ye pavitrata aur positive energy ka symbol hai.
4. Shami Patra/Phool - Safalta ke Liye
Shami ka vriksh dharmik roop se pavitra mana jata hai. Shiv ji ko shami patra chadhane se rukhe hue kaam poore hone ki maanata hai.
5. Shahad - Jeevan Mein Mithaas
Shahad se abhishek ya arpan karna bahut shubh hota hai. Ye jeevan mein prem aur madhurta ka prateek hai.
