Many Lord Shiva devotees do not know that there are few things that must not be offered to Lord Shiva. Though worshiping Hindu Gods and Goddesses with flower offerings is not only considered auspicious but has its own importance too. Many people are great devotee of Lord Shiva as they know He is one of the supreme God and one may get huge benefits by worshiping Lord Shiva on Sawan Somwar (Sawan Monday) and Mahashivratri. Many know that Lord Shiva’s favorite plant is Bael, and also likes bhaang, dhatura, milk, sandal, and ash.
Shivlinga must never be worshiped with Haldi. Though Haldi is offered to most of the Hindu Gods andGoddess, but haldi is one of the holy items, which is never offered to Shiva. Reason being this item is used for enhancing the beauty and the deity being a saint, worldly pleasures have been given up a long time back by Lord Shiva. So turmeric is feminine in nature and is considered a cosmetic product for females while Shivlinga represents masculinity, hence it is not offered to Lord Shiva.
