What is Rudrabhishekam?
Rudrabhishekam is the ritual bathing (abhishekam) of a Shiva Lingam while the Sri Rudram — the Namakam and Chamakam from the Krishna Yajurveda — is chanted. It is performed for health, peace and the removal of sins, especially on Mondays, Pradosham, Maha Shivaratri and in the Karthika and Shravana months.
Rudrabhishekam in Nandyal
Telugu families book Rudrabhishekam especially on Karthika Somavarams and Maha Shivaratri, often ending with a Karthika deepam.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
