Yes.. of course.. The main reason about fasting on vrat, puja, and festivals is to ….. remember God each moment.. If we fed ourselves with lots of food… we will not have any time to remember God.. To chant and pray the Lord, we need to observe fast… Until its matter of your capacity, you can do fasting…

yes sanjana ji, ur absolutely rite. . In shastras, it is strictly saida that females (of any age) should not touch the shiv linga. . They should worship the linga without touching. . Ladies can offer milk, water, dhatura, bel patra, honey, sugar, flower bt should not touch it. .
Om namah shivay ! !
Shiv ji bless ol ! !
