The Shiva Ashtottara Shatanamavali is recited during morning and evening puja, during Shivaratri, throughout the month of Shravana, and on Pradosha days. It is appropriate at any time for personal Shiva worship.
What is the historical and traditional background?
The tradition of 108-name namavalis is widespread across Hindu devotional literature, reflecting the sacred significance of the number 108. Individual names in this list can be traced to the Shiva Purana, Linga Purana, and Mahabharata, though the standardized compilation of exactly 108 names is a product of devotional practice rather than a single textual source. These compilations became firmly established in the Bhakti period and are integral to daily Shiva puja in temples and households across Shaivite communities.
