Overview
Laghu Rudra for families in Mahmoorganj
Laghu Rudra sits between a regular Rudrabhishek and the vast Maha Rudra. Traditionally, 11 Pandits each recite the Rudram 11 times, eleven Ekadasha Rudras, or 121 recitations in all, while abhishek of the Shivling continues. A Rudra havan is commonly performed at the end.
Mahmoorganj is an established part of Varanasi with a mix of residential colonies, apartment buildings, hotels, hospitals and offices. It is close to Sigra and well connected to the rest of the city by road.
