The term "Abhishek" (अभिषेक) refers to the act of ritualistic bathing or anointing of a deity's idol or image with sacred substances like water, milk, honey, ghee, and other offerings, accompanied by prayers, mantras, and chants. The Rudra Abhishek is a specific form of Abhishek that involves worshipping Lord Shiva using the sacred Rudra mantras, especially from the Rudra Prayag or the Shiva Mahimna Stotra, to invoke his divine blessings for health, prosperity, peace, and spiritual progress.
