At the
Bharatdwaj Muni Ashram at 9.50pm, a mixture of milk, honey and water
being poured over Shiv. Mythology places this Ashram in the epic story
of the Ramayana. |
After placing two flags (red and yellow) next to the linga, a very grateful devotee places his head on Shiva. His family is in the background. Shiva granted him his request and so today on Maha Shivratri, the devotee had returned to say ‘Thank you’. |
