Solah somvar vrat katha book is specifically written for everybody who wishes to chant Shivji's Katha and read the hindi version in english.

The solah somvar fast is very easy to follow. One must take a vow to follow the vrat for 16 mondays with a pure heart and devotion.

The vrat begins with waking up early in the morning, taking a bath and chanting Lord Shiva's name. Then organising all the things required to complete the Pooja (i.e.pooja samagri).

You can either visit the temple, where the deity is placed or if you are doing the pooja at home then you must keep the organised samagri in front of the Lord Shiva idol. You must begin with cleaning the Lord Shiva/Shivling idol by pouring water/milk and placing essential things of pooja in front of it Then decorating the picture/shivling with flowers, fruits, betel leaves and diya (lamp).
