    Overview

    Maha Rudrabhishek for families in Civil Lines

    Maha Rudrabhishek, or Maha Rudra, is the most elaborate form of Rudra worship. In the traditional reckoning, one Ekadasha Rudra is eleven recitations of the Rudram; eleven Ekadasha Rudras make a Laghu Rudra (121 recitations); and eleven Laghu Rudras make a Maha Rudra, 1331 recitations in total. These are usually accompanied by continuous abhishek of the Shivling and often a Rudra havan.

    Civil Lines is the planned heart of Prayagraj, laid out with broad roads in the colonial period and still the city's main area for offices, shops, hotels and restaurants. Old bungalows stand beside newer apartment buildings, and it sits close to Prayagraj Junction and the High Court side of the city.

    ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

    उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

    Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.

    We worship the three-eyed Lord, fragrant and nourishing. May he free us from bondage, as a ripe cucumber from its vine, and lead us towards immortality.Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12
