Overview
Maha Rudrabhishek for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Maha Rudrabhishek Traditions in Varanasi
- Sawan and Maha Shivratri are peak periods; groups of Pandits get booked early in these weeks.
- The ritual usually takes most of a day, so a comfortable venue with space for several Pandits is important.
