Ganga Jal Abhishek

Ganga Jal Abhishek or Rudrabhishek with Ganga Jal is a form of worshipping of Lord Shiva on his avatar of Rudra, in which a Shivalinga is bathed with holy water “Ganga Jal” and other materials in a thin stream by a Brass container called Shringi, which are constantly poured over it, with the chanting of the Vedic mantra called the Rudra Sukta, which is taken from the Yajur Veda.

Rudri Path is a set of 8 chapters of Vedic Shlokas/Mantras, which together are called Rudrashtadhyayi. Rudra means Shiva and Ashtadhyayi means eight chapters.
