The Story in Brief
Sawan Shivratri falls on August 11, with the best time for jal abhishek starting at 4:54 am and continuing till 1:52 am the next day, according to Aaj Tak. The most auspicious window is from 5:23 am to 6:00 am, followed by the Abhijeet muhurat from 12:06 pm to 12:58 pm. Devotees can also perform puja during the four prahars, with specific offerings recommended for each phase.
The first prahar puja is from 7:04 pm to 9:45 pm, when milk or water is offered. The second prahar, from 9:45 pm to 12:26 am, involves offering curd. The third prahar, or Nishita kaal, from 12:26 am to 3:07 am, suggests ghee, and the fourth, from 3:07 am to 5:49 am, recommends honey. After each offering, devotees should pour water on the Shivling.
The Indian Opinion
The fixation on exact muhurat timings often turns devotion into a race against the clock. Aaj Tak's detailed schedule, with windows as narrow as 37 minutes, may leave the faithful anxious about missing the 'perfect' moment. Yet the essence of Shivratri is sincere worship, not precision. If divine grace truly flows on this day, it cannot hinge on a missed slot. The real test is whether a devotee's faith, not their watch, brings peace and resolve.
