About this puja
Rudra Abhishek
“Om Namah Shivaya”
Rudra Abhishek is a sacred Vedic ritual dedicated to Lord Shiva in His Rudra form. During the ceremony, experienced Vedic priests chant the Shri Rudram and other powerful Shiva mantras while performing a ceremonial abhishek — the ritual bathing — of the Shiva Lingam.
The Shiva Lingam is traditionally offered holy water, milk, curd, ghee, honey, sugar (Panchamrit), Ganga water, Bilva (Bel) leaves, sacred ash (Bhasma), sandalwood, Dhatura, and other auspicious offerings, according to established Vedic procedure.
Your sankalp is included so the ritual may be performed on your behalf with clarity of intention. After completion, you receive photo and video documentation of the ceremony, along with a digital sankalp certificate.
