Rudrabhisheka
Experience the Divine Grace of Lord Shiva
Rudrabhisheka is a powerful Vedic ritual dedicated to Lord Shiva, performed to invoke his blessings through the ceremonial bathing (Abhishekam) of the Shiva Linga with sacred substances like water, milk, honey, ghee, curd, sugarcane juice, and more, accompanied by the chanting of the Sri Rudram from the Yajurveda.
