Sawan Shivratri
The Chaturdashi night of Sawan, when North India's Shiva devotees cool the Lord who once swallowed the Halahala poison. Devotees pour Ganga water and milk on the Linga — the same offering Kanwariyas carry on foot from Haridwar, Gaumukh and Sultanganj through the monsoon.

How Masik Shivratri is kept
- Fast through the day.
- The puja window is Nishita Kaal, about 48 minutes around midnight, when Shiva is said to have appeared as the Linga.
- The fullest form worships Shiva in each of the night's four prahars, with abhisheka of water, curd, ghee and honey, and offers bilva leaves, aak flowers and vibhuti.
- Parana, the breaking of the fast, is after sunrise the next morning, ideally before Chaturdashi ends.
