Rudra Abhishek

Rudra Abhishek is a Hindu ritual dedicated to Lord Shiva, where the deity is worshiped in his Rudra form. During the ceremony, sacred items like water, milk, honey, ghee, and other offerings are poured over a Shiva Lingam while chanting powerful Vedic mantras, especially the "Rudra Sukta" from the Yajurveda. The ritual is believed to please Lord Shiva, remove negative influences, and bring peace, prosperity, and protection to the devotees.
