About these rituals
Kashi has long been revered as the city of Lord Shiva, and Shiva pujas remain among the most sought-after rituals here. Rudrabhishek, the recitation of Sri Rudram with abhishek of the Shivling, is performed through the year and especially during Sawan and Maha Shivratri.
From a simple Shiv Puja at home to a multi-Pandit Laghu Rudra, the scale of the ritual can be chosen to suit your intention and family custom.
