Keep these things in mind while worshiping Lord Shiva
Do not offer turmeric: Turmeric is not offered in the worship of Lord Shiva. Turmeric is mainly used in cosmetics. According to the scriptures, Shivlinga is considered a symbol of masculinity, hence do not use turmeric even by mistake in Shiva worship.
Do not offer Ketaki and Kevada flowers: Shiva does not like red colored flowers except Kanar and Lotus. Not only this, Ketaki and Kevada flowers are not offered to Shiva. Therefore, do not use these flowers in the worship of Lord Shiva, otherwise the results of the worship may be ruined.
Avoid offering kumkum and roli: Kumkum and Roli are not applied to Lord Shiva. Use of these things is prohibited in the worship of Lord Shiva.
Do not use shank: Lord Vishnu is very fond of the conch, but blowing the conch is considered prohibited during Shiva worship. Mythological belief is that Mahadev had killed a demon named Shankhachur, that is why conch is not used in Shiva worship.
Do not anoint with coconut water: Do not anoint Lord Shiva with coconut water. Coconut is considered to be the form of Lakshmi. It is accepted as Prasad after the puja, but it is said that after climbing Shivalinga, coconut water is no longer acceptable.
Do not use basil: Do not offer even basil leaves to Lord Shiva. According to the legend, Lord Shiva had killed the demon king Jalandhar, whose wife Vrinda had become a Tulsi plant. Vrinda had cursed Lord Shiva that Tulsi would not be used in his worship.
