Overview

Rudrabhishek for families in Khairatabad

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.

Khairatabad sits in the heart of Hyderabad, between Lakdikapul, Somajiguda and the shores of Hussain Sagar. Government offices, the RTA office and busy main roads share the area with older residential lanes where families have lived for decades.

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
