What is Rudrabhishek Puja?
In Rudrabhishek the Shivling is bathed with water, milk, curd, ghee, honey and Ganga jal while the pandit chants the Rudri path, the hymns to Lord Shiva in Rudra form from the Shukla Yajurveda.
It is one of the most loved Shiva pujas in Uttarakhand. Families offer it as devotion, on special days such as Mondays, in the month of Sawan and on Mahashivratri, or to mark an occasion in the family.
When families usually choose Rudrabhishek
- On Mondays, Pradosh, in the month of Sawan or on Mahashivratri.
- To mark a birthday, anniversary, griha pravesh or another family occasion.
- As a prayer of devotion to Lord Shiva, with no special reason needed.
How the puja is traditionally done
- Sankalp: the pandit takes the name of the person the puja is for, the gotra if the family knows it, and the purpose of the puja.
- Ganesh puja and kalash sthapana: as per tradition, every puja begins with Lord Ganesh.
- Main puja and mantra jaap for the deity or graha the puja is offered to.
- Havan, aarti and daan, as the vidhi requires.
The pandit explains the exact vidhi, the mantra jaap and anything you need to arrange when you book, before you pay.
