Devotees pay obeisance to Lord Shiva and ardent devotees stay awake all night chanting the mantra and rituals to venerate Shiva. While as one gears up to mark this festival with fervour, here we bring to you five tips that will help save you from averse situations.
* Remedy For Sick PersonIf a person is sick in a family, then one should perform Abhishekam with milk and ghee on black Shivalinga at a temple. After this, one should give 1250 grams rice grains on the Shivalinga and chant Mahamrityunjay Mantra 11 times. Later pick few grains of rice and put it in a white cloth, then wrap it.
