The word “Abhishek” means sacred bathing of the deity with holy substances while chanting mantras. During Maha Rudrabhishek, the Shiva Lingam — symbolizing infinite cosmic energy — is bathed with offerings like milk, honey, ghee, curd, and Gangajal.
Each offering represents purification at different levels:
Milk – Brings purity and peace.
Honey – Attracts divine sweetness and prosperity.
Ghee – Symbolizes wisdom and radiance.
Curd – Represents strength and fertility.
Sugarcane juice – Invites happiness and harmony.
Water (Gangajal) – Washes away sins and negativity.
Performing Rudrabhishek cleanses the devotee’s aura, brings peace to ancestors, and pleases Lord Shiva — the giver of liberation (moksha).
