Devotees should never offer Tulsi leaves on Shivlinga during the month of Sawan as well. It is believed that Lord Shiva killed a demon named Jalandhar, the husband of Tulsi (Vrinda) in his previous birth, so offering Tulsi leaves in Shiva Puja is not considered appropriate.
One should not offer broken Belpatra to Lord Shiva even by mistake. Also, one should avoid plucking Belpatra on Sawan Monday. If you want to offer Belpatra to Lord Shiva on Monday, then pluck them a day before.
If you are fasting on Sawan Monday or offering water to Shiva, then you should avoid drinking milk on that day. Doing so is considered auspicious.
If you are going to fast on all the Mondays of Sawan, then you should avoid having physical relations during the entire month of Sawan. If you follow celibacy and keep a fast for Lord Shiva, then Lord Shiva can fulfill all your wishes.
Keeping all these things in mind, if you worship Lord Shiva in Sawan, then you get auspicious results. By the grace of Lord Shiva, you make spiritual progress and also get worldly happiness.
