Correct method of offering water to Shivalinga

For Jalabhishek, take clean water or Ganga water in a copper or silver vessel. Offer water while facing north. First of all, offer water on the left side of Jaladhari, where it is considered to be the place of Lord Ganesha. After this, offer water to Lord Kartikeya on the right side. Then offer water on the middle part and the round part of the Jaladhari. Finally, while chanting ‘Om Namah Shivay’ or ‘Shri Shivay Namstubhyam’, slowly offer a thin stream of water on the Shivalinga.

Finally recite Shiv Chalisa or Rudrashtakam. Offer fruits, sweets or kheer and perform Aarti with incense sticks and seek forgiveness from Lord Shiva for the mistake made during the puja.
