Overview
Rudrabhishek for families in Shamshabad
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.
Shamshabad lies on the southern edge of Hyderabad, best known as the location of Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Once a small town on the Bengaluru highway, it now has new residential layouts, apartment projects, farmhouses and hotels serving travellers.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥
Oṁ tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam, urvārukam iva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā'mṛtāt.
Planning your puja in Shamshabad
If you are flying in or out, share your flight timings so the ritual can be planned with enough buffer.
The ORR and airport road are usually quick, but allow extra time for Pandits coming from the city.
Farmhouses and open plots suit homams; arrange shade, seating and water.
Share a pinned location, as newer layouts and farmhouses can be hard to find.
Hotels usually restrict open flames, check with the hotel before planning a homam there.
Tell us whether you want Namakam Chamakam or Rudri path.
Keep milk, curd, honey, ghee, sugar, bilva leaves and flowers ready, or ask for samagri to be arranged.
