Overview
Maha Rudrabhishek for families in Mahmoorganj
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.
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.
