    About Rudrabhishek

    Rudrabhishek is the abhishek, or ritual bathing, of the Shivling performed while chanting the Rudrashtadhyayi (commonly called Rudri) from the Shukla Yajurveda, or the Sri Rudram (Namakam Chamakam) in South Indian traditions. Offerings such as Gangajal, milk, curd, ghee, honey, sugarcane juice and panchamrit are poured over the Shivling in a continuous stream, followed by bel patra, flowers and bhasma.

    Online Rudrabhishek: FAQs

    Can Rudrabhishek be performed at home?

    Yes. The Pandit can perform it at your home on a Shivling you have or one arranged for the puja. It can also be done at a temple or online.

    Can Rudrabhishek be done online?

    Yes. The Pandit performs the sankalp and abhishek in your name on a live video call, and you can follow along from home.

    How does an online puja work?

    You share your name, gotra (if known), the names of family members to include and your intention. At the scheduled time, the Pandit performs the sankalp in your name and conducts the ritual while you join by video call and follow along.

    Which pujas can be performed online?

    Many pujas, paths and homams can be performed with an online sankalp. Rituals that fundamentally need the family on-site, such as Griha Pravesh, Bhoomi Puja, Vivah or Asthi Visarjan, are offered in person. Each puja page shows the options available.

    Can I book from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE or Singapore?

    Yes, you can enquire from anywhere. We schedule around your time zone where the muhurat allows, and share the details on WhatsApp.

    What do I need at home for an online puja?

    A quiet space, a stable internet connection and a simple setup such as a diya, incense and flowers is usually enough. The Pandit will tell you if anything specific is recommended.
