If you’ve ever noticed people offering Puja to Lord Shiva, you’ll see they offer Bael leaves, dhatura flower, milk, and water, but never tulsi (holy basil).

In many Shiva temples across India, especially during Maha Shivratri and Shravan, devotees offer Lord Shiva cannabis leaves or Ganja.

The sacred rituals in Sanatan Dharma often carry hidden layers of symbolism. One such ritual of offering the dhatura flower to Lord Shiva may seem strange at first.
