Wake up early in the morning and bathe (bathing in the Ganges River holds immense importance on this day, but due to concerns about the coronavirus, bathing with Ganges water at home is also acceptable).
2. Add Ganges water to your bathwater and meditate on Mother Ganga while bathing. 3. Sprinkle Ganges water in your home temple and light a lamp. Perform abhisheka (ritual bathing) of all the deities with Ganges water. On this day, worshipping Lord Shankar yields auspicious results.
