Rudrabhishek is the bathing of the Shivling with sacred substances while the Rudram hymns are recited. Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji performs it in Ujjain in your name, with sankalp, Ganesh pujan and aarti. Devotees offer it for peace, family wellbeing and Shiva’s blessings.
Significance
Rudra is the fierce yet compassionate form of Shiva. The Rudri path, drawn from the Shukla Yajurveda tradition, praises Rudra and is recited while the Shivling is bathed. According to tradition, each substance offered, such as water, milk, curd, honey and ghee, carries its own devotional meaning.
Rudrabhishek is traditionally performed on occasions such as a new home, a new venture, a family celebration, or simply when one wishes to seek Shiva’s grace for a calm life.
Ujjain is the city of Mahakal, mentioned as Avantika in the Skanda Purana’s Avanti Khand. Offering this pujan here, on the banks of the Kshipra, carries a special meaning for devotees.
