Though Lord Shiva is considered as a Lord who has a large heart, but then his wrath and dance of destruction is also well-known. Here are the 10 things one should never do on a Shivratri:
1. Never perform your Puja wearing a black dress. The Lord despises this color.
2. Never offer Ketaki or Pandanus odorifer – Kewda flower to Lord Shiva. The Lord has cursed this flower.
3. Don’t consume the prasad offered on the Shivalinga. This brings ill-fate and disease.

7. Do not insult your partner, elderlies or a poor on this day.
