Sawan Shivratri fasting method

A day before Shivratri fast, devotees should eat only once. On the day of Shivratri, after completing the morning rituals, devotees should take a pledge that they will fast for the whole day on Shivratri and will have food only after the end of Shivratri the next day.


During Sankalp the devotees take a pledge of self-determination during the fasting period and seek the blessings of Lord Shiva to end the fast without any interference.

On the day of Shivratri, devotees should take a double bath in the evening before worshiping Shiva or going to the temple. Shiva puja should be performed at night and devotees should break the fast after taking bath the next day. 

To get maximum benefit of the fast, devotees should break the fast between sunrise and before the end of Chaturdashi Tithi. According to a contradictory opinion, devotees should break the fast only when Chaturdashi Tithi ends. But it is believed that it is right to worship Shiva and break the fast on Chaturdashi Tithi.
