Rudrabhishek Puja is a Hindu Vedic ritual that is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the destroyer in the Hindu Trinity. It is a powerful and popular worship ritual that is performed to seek the blessings of Lord Shiva and to appease him. The word Rudrabhishek is derived from two Sanskrit words – 'Rudra', which refers to Lord Shiva, and 'Abhishek', which means to perform a ritualistic bathing or offering of water.
The Rudrabhishek Puja is typically performed by experienced Vedic priests who recite ancient Vedic mantras, hymns, and prayers. The ritual involves the chanting of the sacred Rudram, a powerful hymn dedicated to Lord Shiva. During the puja, a Shiva Linga or a statue of Lord Shiva is bathed with water, milk, honey, and other sacred substances while chanting mantras and performing rituals.
