The Shiva Pooja can be perfomed by anyone on a Shiva Linga. The procedure for pooja is very simple. Chant ॐ नम: शिवाय and offer following this to Shiva Linga:

Bathe the Shiva Linga With Water, Milk (Cow), Ghee (Cow) and Honey. Sugar Cane juice can also be used if available.

This is very simple but very effective Pancha Upachar Pooja that will passify all the Pancha Tattva inside the person.

After this recite ॐ नम: शिवाय minimum 10 malas on Rudraksha. Best is to do 100 Malas which can be broken into smaller groups to ease the chanting.

At the end recite Shiva Panchakshri Stotra.

Please Note: Do Not offer Bhanga Leaves and Dhatura at all. We can not offer anything that we can not eat.
