In the evening, after taking bath etc., first meditate on Lord Ganesha. After this, meditate on Lord Shiva, Parvati and all the gods and the nine planets and resolve to perform Rudrabhishek. Make Shivlinga from clay and install it in the north direction. The person performing Rudrabhishek should face east. Start this method by anointing Shivalinga with Ganga water. First of all, bathe Shivling with Ganga water. After this, anoint Shivling with sugarcane juice, raw cow’s milk, honey, ghee and sugar candy. Offer holy water or Ganga water before and after anointing with each material. Offer Bilva leaves, white sandalwood, Akshat, black sesame, hemp, Dhatura, Ank, Shami flowers and leaves, Kaner, Kalava, fruits, sweets and white flowers to the Lord. After this, worship all the Gods and Goddesses including Shiva family. Offer food to the Lord. In the end, perform the Aarti of Lord Shiva with full devotion. Pray for forgiveness at the end. During this process, collect the water or other liquids offered and sprinkle it on all the corners of the house and on all the people and can also accept it as Prasad. Getting Rudrabhishek done especially by a learned Pandit is considered very auspicious. However, you can also complete this method by reciting Rudrashtadhyayi yourself.
