The absolute formless God, Sadashiv appeared in the form of “Lingodbhav Moorti” exactly at midnight on Maha Shivratri. That is why all Shiva devotees keep vigil during the night of Shivratri and do “Shivlingam abhishekham” at midnight.
Anyone who worships Shiva on the day of Maha Shivratri is freed from all bondages and sins of Karma and moves on the path towards Moksha. Devotees who worship Lord Shiva with true devotion on Mahashivratri are freed from all sins and are blessed with health, wealth and success.
You need to get up in the early morning and take bath in warm water added with black sesame seeds. It is believed that taking bath in this water on the auspicious day of maha shivratri will purify your soul and body.
After taking bath devotees should take Sankalp to observer full day fast and to break the fast on the next day. During Sankalp devotees pledge for self-determination throughout the fasting period and seek blessing of Lord Shiva to finish the fast without any interference. Hindu fasts are strict and people pledge for self-determination and seek God blessing before starting them to finish them successfully.
Shiva Puja should be done during night. Shivaratri Puja can be performed one time or four times during the night. The whole night duration can be divided into four to get four Prahar to perform Shiva Puja four times. Devotees who want to perform single Puja should do it during midnight.

SMEARING ASH (BHASMA):
The devotee worshipping Lord Shiva should smear holy ash on his forehead in three horizontal stripes - Tripundra. The stripes symbolize Absolute Knowledge, Purity and Penance (Yogasadhana).
WEARING RUDRAKSHA:
The devotee should wear Rudraksha beads mala while worshipping Lord Shiva. The Rudraksha converts the divine light frequencies into the sound frequencies in the human body.

The sattvik frequencies emitted by the Rudraksha balance Chakras helping one elevate to higher consciousness.
