From Honey to Kalonji: 5 things to add to water before offering to Shivling

The practice of offering water to Lord Shiva originates from the Samudra Manthan, where deities poured water on him to cool the Halahal poison. This ritual, performed especially on Mondays, symbolizes purity and devotion. Devotees enhance the offering with ingredients like honey, ghee, sugarcane juice, milk, and Kalonji, each carrying specific spiritual significance for cleansing and prosperity.
