Important Information on Rudrabhishek Puja:
सप्तकोटि महारुद्रैः सुजप्तैर्यत्फलं भवेत् तत्फलं
लभ्यते काश्यां पूजना काशीयां यत्किमपि शिवलिंगम्Kashi Khand, Chapter 68, Shlok 43

What is Rudrabhishek Puja?
Rudrabhishek is the most comprehensive vidhi of doing Puja to lord Shiva. In this ritual ‘Panch
Amrit that consist of ‘Milk, Honey, Ghee, Sugar and Curd’ are offered in a sequence along with
the dedicated chanting of Rudram Namakam Chamak Path.
Rudrabhishek Puja is the sacred bath of Lord Shiva done to appease him and seek his divine
blessings.
When Samudra Manthan was done on the Mandara mountain, then all the Devi Devtas were
present there in anticipation of getting the ‘Amrit’ but when the poison came out from the
Samudra Manthan nobody was ready to accept it.
Lord Shiva then came and drank the poison thus saving the universe from collapsing. Because
of drinking the poison the color of his throat changed to blue and he was named ‘Neelkanth’ by
lord Vishnu.
As a result of drinking the venomous poison, the body of Lord Shiva started heating up, and thus
to appease him all 33 Koti Devi and Devtas offered Rudrabhisek Puja to lord Shiva and
sought his blessings.
