Rudri

The rite

Sri Rudram is the Vedic homage to Shiva in the Yajur Veda, chanted with Namakam and Chamakam in North Indian style. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma performs Rudri path at your Bengaluru home with optional abhishek.

Time at the house: About 1½–2½ hours with abhishek and aarti

Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.

Why families book it

Abhishek pause mid-path lets you refill milk and water without rushing mantras. Use a shallow tub on tiled puja floors; avoid carpeted bedrooms for water rituals.

Chant is rhythmic, not drumming—suitable for mid-rise buildings if session ends by late evening.
