Laghu Rudra / Maha Rudra Puja

Description

Laghu Rudra and Maha Rudra Puja are sacred ceremonies devoted to Lord Shiva, involving the chanting of Rudra Mantras and the performance of elaborate Havan rituals. These pujas are performed to seek divine blessings for protection, success, wealth, health, and spiritual upliftment.

• Laghu Rudra Puja is a shorter version of the ritual, ideal for personal or family devotion and takes less time.

• Maha Rudra Puja is a grand, elaborate ritual performed for special occasions, large-scale spiritual benefits, or to remove severe obstacles.

During the puja, the Shiva Lingam is bathed with water, milk, honey, ghee, curd, and other sanctified offerings. Priests chant Rudra Sukta mantras with precise Vedic procedures, invoking the cosmic energy of Lord Shiva. Both rituals help remove negative energies, promote prosperity, and create a spiritually vibrant environment.
