Rudrabhishek Puja Guide: Mantra, Vidhi & Benefits

Rudrabhishek Puja is a powerful Vedic ritual performed to alleviate suffering and bring prosperity to one’s family. Dedicated to Lord Rudra, a fierce avatar of Lord Shiva, this puja is hailed in ancient scriptures as the ultimate remedy to remove evils, fulfill desires, and attain peace.

The term “Rudra” means destroyer of sorrows. Legend has it that Lord Rama performed this puja at Rameshwaram before his battle with Ravana to seek Lord Shiva’s blessings.

Rudrabhishek Puja Mantra

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिबर्धनम् |
उर्वारूकमिव बन्धनान् मृत्योर्मुक्षीय मा मृतात् ||

Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushti-Vardhanam |
Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityor Mukshiya Maamritat ||

This Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is central to the Rudrabhishek, invoking Lord Shiva’s protection against untimely death and diseases.
