Sawan 2025: Worshipping a Parthiv Shivling, a Shivling made from clay, holds deep spiritual significance during the holy month of Sawan. Many devotees create and worship Parthiv Shivlings at home or in temples, believing that this ritual brings peace, prosperity, and happiness to the household. However, there are important rules associated with this sacred practice, and not following them properly is believed to bring negative effects instead of blessings.

Who Performed The First Parthiv Shivling Puja?

According to the Shiv Puran, the worship of Parthiv Shivlings has been practised since ancient times. In the early days of Kaliyug, Mandap, the son of sage Kushmand Rishi, was the first to perform this ritual. It is also believed that Lord Ram worshipped a Parthiv Shivling before his battle against Ravan in Lanka.

How To Make A Parthiv Shivling

• Use clean soil from a riverbank, pond, or a pure flowerpot. Avoid using any other kind of mud.
• Wash the soil thoroughly before shaping it.
• Traditionally, soil is mixed with cow dung, jaggery, butter, and sacred ash to prepare the clay.
• The height of the Shivling should not exceed 12 fingers (approximately the height of a thumb).
• Some also add ghee to the mixture, which is considered auspicious.
• Chant the mantra “Om Namo Haraya” while making the Shivling.
• Food offered to the Parthiv Shivling is not meant for human consumption. It is believed to be for Lord Shiv’s attendants and should be given to a cow.

Parthiv Shivling Puja Vidhi 

• Pradosh Kaal is considered the best time for this puja.
• The Shivling should be made facing east or north.
• After preparing the Shivling, invoke Lord Ganesh, Lord Vishnu, the Navgrahas, and Goddess Parvati.
• Offer water and Panchamrit (a mix of milk, curd, honey, ghee, and sugar) while chanting “Om Namah Shivay.”
• Offer sandalwood paste, flowers, incense, lamp, and food offerings. Recite the Shiv Chalisa.
• After the aarti and flower offering, respectfully ask Lord Shiv to return to his abode.
• Conclude the ritual by immersing the Shivling in water with devotion and respect.
