Solah Somwar Udyapan Puja

Solah Somwar Udyapan Puja is the concluding ritual performed after observing the Sixteen Monday fasts (Solah Somwar Vrat) dedicated to Lord Shiva. Devotees undertake this vrat to seek blessings for marital harmony, health, prosperity, and fulfillment of desires. The Udyapan (conclusion) involves a special puja, Shiva abhishekam, chanting of vrat katha, offering sweets, and donating to Brahmins. This final ceremony expresses gratitude and completes the vow with divine blessings and spiritual merit.
