1. Bilapatra plant
As described in ancient texts, the Bilitra plant holds a special place in the heart of Lord Shiva.

Additionally, planting a fenugreek plant in your home on this day removes negative energy, creating a protective environment around your living space.

According to astrology, it is considered very auspicious to bring Dhatura plant into your home on this auspicious day. This plant is not only associated with attracting happiness and prosperity, but also with protection from disasters and receiving the blessings of Lord Shiva.
3. Mogra plant
On the occasion of Mahashivratri, it is also advised to plant a Mogra plant in the house. It is believed that this plant is the favorite plant of Goddess Parvati. It is said that by doing this the devotees get blessings of the Goddess, marital problems go away and harmony increases in domestic life.
The festival of Mahashivratri is not only a celebration of the divine union of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati but also an opportunity for devotees to invite positive energy into their lives through age-old traditions and astrological remedies.
