During the sacred month of Shravan, devotees offer Abhishek to Lord Shiva as an expression of deep devotion and spiritual purification. This holy ritual involves bathing the Shiva Lingam with water, milk, ghee, honey, bilva leaves, and other sacred offerings.
Each element used in Abhishek signifies purity, surrender, and gratitude, while the continuous chanting of mantras creates a spiritually uplifting atmosphere. Mondays (Shravan Somvars) are considered especially auspicious, and thousands of devotees observe fasts and perform Abhishek to seek divine blessings.
Begin with a personal bath and wear clean, modest attire. Sprinkle holy water around the idol and altar for purification. Offer Panchamrit on the deity while chanting:
“Om Namah Shivaya” for Lord Shiva. “Om Shri Gurudev Dattaya Namah” for Lord Dattatreya
Continue with herbal waters or fruit juices as a second phase of Abhishek. Conclude with plain water (preferably Ganga Jal). Apply sandalwood paste and offer flowers, Tulsi, and garlands. Perform Aarti and recite mantras, slokas, or stotras.
Abhishek can be performed at: Your home shrine. Local Shiva or Dattatreya temples. With simplicity and devotion—the sincerity of your heart matters more than ritualistic grandeur.
