Jalabhisheka

Jalabhisheka (Sanskrit: जलाभिषेक) also known as Jalabhishekam is a popular practice of worship to Lord Shiva in Hinduism.

[1] The Hindu adherents pour a stream of holy water on a Shivlinga during the Jalabhisheka worship of the deity Lord Shiva.

Similarly the meaning of the term Abhisheka is offering and pouring holy liquid on an idol of a deity.

Thus the meaning of the compound term Jalabhisheka is "Offering or pouring holy water in ritualistic manner on an idol of the deity".

In Hinduism, the practice of the Jalabhisheka worship to Lord Shiva is very popular across the Indian subcontinent.
