I am reposting what sonu_627 has posted last year for tomorrows festival';; Many temples perform rudra-abhishek throughout the night starting from 9 pm and ending on 6 am on 24-2-2009 Do go to those temples and participate and watch as long as you can all the best chandra The devotees of Lord Shiva should preferably do the following things on this day. 1. Observe fast on this day, taking only fruits & milk. 2. Perform elaborate puja of Lord Shiva, and perform Rudrabhisheka. Chant various hymns & bhajan of Lord Shiva. 3. Chant the mantra ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ as many times as you can. 4.Practice Dhyana for longer periods than the usual routine. 5.Remain more introvert on this day contemplating about the truths of life. 6.Do for darshan of Lord Shiva where he is properly & regularly worshipped. 7.Try to get darshan & satsang of some learned Mahatmas. Offer sewa at Ashrams & Temples.
