Sri Rudram & Chamakam- Wish-Fulfilling Ultimate Prayer to Dissolution Archetype Shiva with Anna Abishekam
‘Sri Rudram’ is a Vedic hymn written as a prayer to archetype Rudra, the fierce form of Shiva, to transform from his fierce form to his peaceful form and shower us with his blessings. This prayer has two parts, with each divided into eleven sections.
The first part has verses ending with the term “Nama“; hence, this part is named ‘Namakam’ or ‘Rudram.’ The second part is named ‘Chamakam’ as the verses end with “Cha Me,” which means “let this be granted to me.”
Performing Anna Abishekam for Shiva following his sacred hymn chanting can help absolve the bad karma of your previous births, purify the karma of your current life, and help you lead a happy, trouble-free, and fulfilling life.

ANNA ABISHEKAM
View FAQs
What is Anna Abishekam?
Anna Abishekam, also known as the Cooked Rice Hydration Ceremony, is one of the most sacred Anna Abishekam Rituals performed to Shiva. In this Divine offering, the Shiva Lingam is bathed with cooked rice as an act of gratitude to the Supreme Nourisher of the Universe. The term “Anna” means food or rice, and “Abishekam” means sacred Hydration Ceremony, symbolizing the offering of nourishment back to its Divine Source.
According to the Vedas, rice represents purity, fertility, and prosperity. It is a sacred embodiment of the five elements of nature- earth, water, fire, air, and space. When devotees perform Anna Abishekam for Shiva, they invoke the balance of these elements within and around them, receiving His blessings for abundance, health, and spiritual upliftment.
When is Anna Abishekam 2025 Performed?
On this day, Shiva is worshipped in His sacred forms as
- Vishwanatha Swamy – the Supreme Lord of the Universe and Bestower of Liberation
- Vaidyanatha Swamy – the Divine Healer and Protector,
- Goddess Annapoorneshwari – the Goddess of Food, Nourishment, and Abundance
Why is Rice Used in Anna Abishekam?
Rice is revered in the scriptures as Annam Brahma (Food is God) and represents the life-sustaining energy of the Universe. Offering cooked rice during Shiva Lingam Abishekam symbolizes returning nourishment to its origin: Shiva, the Preserver of Life and Energy.
Each grain of rice signifies a prayer for purity, peace, and prosperity. The ritual expresses gratitude for nourishment, agricultural abundance, and the gifts of nature. It is believed that consuming even a single grain of the prasadam from Anna Abishekam can remove karma, bless one with good health, and invoke Shiva’s grace.
What Are the Benefits of Anna Abishekam 2025?
- Dissolve past-life karma & purify sins
- Remove planetary afflictions (Graha & Pitru Doshas)
- Bring prosperity, wealth & abundance
- Grant good health, vitality & longevity
- Promote family harmony & inner peace
- Enhance concentration, wisdom & clarity
- Bestow Moksha (Liberation from the cycle of birth and death)
Can Devotees Perform Anna Abishekam at Home?
Though traditionally performed in temples, Anna Abishekam can also be observed in a simplified form at home. Devotees can offer freshly cooked rice to a Shiva Lingam or a picture of Shiva while chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” or reciting verses from the Sri Rudram.
Concluding the ritual with Anna Dhanam (Food Donation) to the poor and needy enhances its spiritual value. The devotion and purity of intent during Shiva Lingam Abishekam are more important than scale, and even a humble offering pleases Shiva when done with sincerity.
Where is Anna Abishekam Famously Performed?
Anna Abishekam Rituals are celebrated with grandeur at 6 ancient Shiva Powerspots across India, especially in Tamil Nadu. At these Powerspots, Anna Abishekam for Shiva is performed with large quantities of cooked rice while Vedic priests chant the Sri Rudram and Chamakam. The rituals conclude with Anna Dhanam, where devotees are fed sacred food blessed by Shiva.
What Mantra is Chanted During Anna Abishekam?
The primary chants during Anna Abishekam Rituals are the Sri Rudram and Chamakam, found in the Krishna Yajur Veda.
- Sri Rudram (Namakam) – Salutations to Rudra, invoking His protection and grace. “Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya” – Salutations to the Supreme Rudra, the all-powerful Lord of transformation.
- Chamakam – A prayer for the fulfillment of material and spiritual desires, asking for health, wealth, prosperity, and enlightenment.
Chanting these mantras during Shiva Lingam Abishekam purifies the mind, removes negativity, and invites the Divine Presence of Shiva to bless devotees with well-being and fulfillment.
What is the Spiritual Significance of Anna Abishekam?
Spiritually, Anna Abishekam represents surrender, gratitude, and renewal of life energy. It teaches the truth that “Food is Divine (Annam Brahma)” and reminds us that life’s sustenance is a sacred blessing from Shiva.
By performing this Anna Abishekam for Shiva, devotees offer the essence of life — food — back to its source, acknowledging the interconnectedness of all creation. The ritual purifies the soul, dissolves ego, and opens the path to liberation (Moksha).
It is a moment of profound connection with Vishwanatha, the Supreme Consciousness, whose grace sustains the universe. Through this act of devotion, one experiences Divine peace, prosperity, and the ultimate spiritual fulfillment.
