🔱 श्रावण सोमवार विशेष | शिव सहस्र बिल्वाभिषेक एवं रुद्राभिषेक 🔱
In the sacred month of Shravan, Monday—Somwar—holds special significance for the worship of Lord Shiva. On this auspicious occasion, Shiv Sahasra Bilvabhishek is performed by offering 1000 sacred Bilva Patras (Bel leaves) to Mahadev with devotion, accompanied by Rudrabhishek, Vedic mantras and Shiva Upasana.
🌿 Why Bilva Patra?
In Shaiva tradition, Bilva Patra is considered one of the most sacred offerings to Lord Shiva. Its three leaves are traditionally associated with the Trinetra of Shiva, the three Gunas and the divine energies of creation, preservation and transformation.
